I would do it directly in the application code (the server)

Properties prop = System.getProperties();
// *** The location of the policy file ***
prop.put("java.security.policy",
"file:/C:\\Java\\bankserver\\server.policy");

// *** The location of the .class files ***
prop.put("java.rmi.server.codebase",
"file:/C:\\java\\bankserver\\classes/");

// *** Set the properties to the system ***
System.setProperties(prop);

// This is how I do it at least
