Problem Note 15391: Exception occurs when testing redirect URL in SAS Email Marketing
Console for tracking servlets deployed under IBM Websphere
After deploying the SAS® Email Marketing tracking servlets against a
Websphere web server, the permissions in the deployed was.policy file
may not be set correctly.
This causes problems when you attempt to test the redirect URL within
the SAS Email Marketing Console.
From SAS Email Marketing Console, select Server Configuration from the
Tools drop down menu and then choose the Tracking tab.
Click on the "test" button next to the Redir Url field.
If the following message appears,
Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for url
http://yourserver.com:9080/bess/redir?link=.......
then the permissions have not been correctly defined.
To correct the problem, locate the deployed was.policy file which will
be in a location similar to:
..ibm\config\cells\Machine_Name\applications\bess_war.ear\deployments\be
ss_war\META-INF
Open the was.policy file in an editor and append the following:
// ============================================================
// Default codeBase permissions
// ============================================================
grant codeBase "file:${application}" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessClassInPackage.sun.misc";
};
Save and close the file and then restart Websphere in order for the
change to take affect.
The exception is a RuntimePermission exception generated when trying to
access the password encoder/decoder in the sun.misc package.
The change grants the servlet permission to call the sun.misc.* code.
Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
