Java RMI AccessControlException: access denied

Question

Hey im getting a AccessControlException: access denied when attempting to start up a RMI app im writing, I cant work out why I get this exception if I open it on the default port 1099, or on another dynamic port, my policy file currently grants everything (will change when app is finished).

I am stuck as to where It is going wrong, any help would but of great use

My code

public class Main {

/**
 * @param args the command line arguments
 */
public static void main(String[] args) throws RemoteException, AlreadyBoundException, MalformedURLException {
     if (System.getSecurityManager() == null)
     {
        System.setSecurityManager ( new RMISecurityManager() );
     }

     CreditCardServer ccs = new CreditCardServer();

     int port = 1099;

     try {
        port = Integer.valueOf(args[0]);
        }
     catch (Exception e)
        {
        System.out.println("Invlaid Port");
        }

     if (((port <= 65535) && (port >= 49152)) || port ==1099)
     {
     System.out.println("Valid Port");
     }
     else
     {
         port = 1099;
        System.out.println("Port not in Dynamic Range 49152<-->65535");
     }

     System.out.println(port);

     LocateRegistry.createRegistry(port);

     LocateRegistry.getRegistry().bind("CreditCardServer", ccs);

     while (true)
     {
        //hum?
     }
}

}

My Policy File

grant {
// Allow everything for now
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Answer 1

Basicly im stupid, i assumed that bcuase java was not complaining it was finding the .policy file AOK, turns out it was not moving a new copy of the.policy file into the working directory solves all :-D
