Access control exception

Question

I tried to execute the server in my NetBeans 7.3.1 java project, but I got this:

    Sun Mar 26 15:48:04 EEST 2017 : DRDA_SecurityInstalled.I
Sun Mar 26 15:48:04 EEST 2017 : access denied ("java.net.SocketPermission" "localhost:1527" "listen,resolve")

I've been looking for the solution and I found one - change the permissons in java.policy file. Well, I did it:

// Standard extensions get all permissions by default


grant codeBase "file:${{java.home}}/*" { permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

// default permissions granted to all domains

grant {
        // Allows any thread to stop itself using the java.lang.Thread.stop()
        // method that takes no argument.
        // Note that this permission is granted by default only to remain
        // backwards compatible.
        // It is strongly recommended that you either remove this permission
        // from this policy file or further restrict it to code sources
        // that you specify, because Thread.stop() is potentially unsafe.
        // See the API specification of java.lang.Thread.stop() for more
        // information.
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "stopThread";

        // allows anyone to listen on dynamic ports
        permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:0", "listen";

        // "standard" properies that can be read by anyone

        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.version", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vendor", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vendor.url", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.class.version", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "os.name", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "os.version", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "os.arch", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "file.separator", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "path.separator", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "line.separator", "read";

        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.specification.version", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.specification.vendor", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.specification.name", "read";

        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vm.specification.version", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vm.specification.vendor", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vm.specification.name", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vm.version", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vm.vendor", "read";
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vm.name", "read";
 permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1527", "listen";// here I added this string that should resolve this problem
};

After those steps I've tried to push the server, but still thame exception is throwed. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Found few things that might help.

1. Use :
   permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1527", "listen";
   instead of :
   permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:0", "listen";

2. Make sure you are modifying the correct policy files in-case of multiple JREs present on your system.To verify this use :
   

   System.out.println(System.getProperty(“java.home”));
   
   Then make changes to :
   

   {Above path}\\lib\\security\\java.policy
