Hi All, This is the first time we are merging drools into our application and getting following error on deploying code to WAS environment. Permission: /opt/gen/xxdms/drools.packagebuilder.conf : Access denied (java.io.FilePermission /opt/gen/xxdms/drools.packagebuilder.conf read) Code: org.drools.util.ChainedProperties in {file:/opt/httpd/root/apps/dms/ibm/ccix-dev-ear/dms.war/WEB-INF/lib/drools-core.jar} We are not using drools.packagebuilder.conf file directly but it is getting called internally from drools-core.jar. I have created an empty drools.packagebuilder.conf file and kept it in META-INF folder but still getting the same error. I have already tried putting this entry in was.policy file with read permission but no luck. user.home might be coming as /opt/gen/xxdms so I tried changing it to my local directory on Linux and given read permission for that folder in was.policy but still no luck. I have tried all the possible combinations and wasted 5-6 hours. Could some one please help me resolving this issue.
