JSP - java.security.AccessControlException: access denied

Question

I am new to JSP deployment. My JSP project includes file uploading to the database using Hibernte. It all went well on my local machine. But whenever I run it online, I'm getting the following exception:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" "accessClassInPackage.org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload").

Here is the full stacktrace:

By the way, I deployed my app on eatj.com . Please help me in getting rid of this error. Thanks

I believe that the hosting server doesn't allow files to be uploaded. That is what the exception indicates. You dont have enough privileges to upload files on the server
