javax.servlet.ServletException: java.security.AccessControlException: access

org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:449)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690)
This issue is related to restrictive policy files not allowing SAS BI Dashboard to create log files. To correct the problem, add the following content to the top of the SAS BI Dashboard section in the sas.restrictive.permissions.policy file:
permission java.io.FilePermission "webappconfig.expandAsPermissionsFile|@config.lev.web.log
s.dir@|${/}-", "read,write,delete";
|
For JBOSS, the sas.restrictive.permissions.policy file is located in ...\jboss-4.2.0.GA\server\SASServer1\conf.
For assistance with other Web application servers, contact SAS Technical Support.
