Java crashes under FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE

[Gabriel - Iulian Dumbrava]

Hello and thanks for your answer. Here is some more info:

We are using the JAAS mechanism. The jaas.config file which we are
refreshing at some defined moments seems to cause the mentioned exception:
java.lang.SecurityException: java.net.MalformedURLException: no
protocol:jaas.config
        at
com.sun.security.auth.login.ConfigFile.refresh(ConfigFile.java:261)
        at com.edulib.ice.core.ICESession.<init>(ICESession.java:337)
        at
com.edulib.ice.core.ICESessionsManager.openSession(ICESessionsManager.java:2
20)
        at
com.edulib.ice.core.ICESessionsManager.run(ICESessionsManager.java:284)

The code in charge is the following:
Configuration configFile =
javax.security.auth.login.Configuration.getConfiguration();
configFile.refresh();

The code is executed in a synchronized block, the monitor being a static
variable from our application.
On Sun's JDK 1.3.1 and 1.4.x on Windows, Linux and Solaris it works with no
problems.

But on FreeBSD  4.8-RELEASE after some time of execution the code triggers
the above exception and thereafter it keeps throwing it everytime the code
executes. It is like something static is set in there.
Note that the exception is similar to the case when the jaas.config
file (specified using -Djava.security.auth.login.config==jaas.config
parameter for the JVM) is not found by the JVM.
And of course if the jaas.config file cannot be found, thereafter every
login to our application fails so our application fails ;-( and the
workaround is to restart it.


Thanks again,
