I wasn't referring to your code, but to libraries', such as Xerces: if it does not find jaxp.properties it can use some defaults; but you will see a stack trace "access denied" on the console. It's handled gracefully.

No. Unresolved permissions are fine and handled automatically.

The output you posted below is strange: at a first view everything seems fine.

The exact order of output is:

access: access allowed (<some permission>)
access: access allowed (<some permission>)
access: access allowed (<some permission>)
access: access denied (<missing permission>)
<possibly some more access requests>
access: access allowed (<some permission>)
access: domain that failed ProtectionDomain (<guilty PD>)
  <guilty PD Permissions>
java.lang.Exception: Stack trace
   <stack trace>

To recap, output is:
+ a series of 'access allowed'
+ the first 'access denied'
+ possibly some more access allowed (not always present)
+ the printout of the failing protection domain with its permissions
+ the stack trace at the moment of failure

You should find the first problematic access denied: looking at the second may be misleading.

Hope helped,

Simon
