I have a target class in D:javaTarget.class. I have a caller class in D:javaCaller.class. I also have another caller class in D:javaBadCaller.class. I want to give access only to Caller.class to access Target.class. For this I created an entry in the policy file like this: grant codeBase "file:d:/java/Caller.class" { permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "d:javaTarget", "read"; }; When I run the caller classes, I provide -Djava.security.manager variable. However, both Caller and BadCaller can access Target class. Am I missing anything here? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

You can use the policy file only to give permission, not to block access to what would normally be ok, not unless you put your own security manager check in the potentially forbidden code. -- Canadian Mind Products, Roedy Green.
