Strange LoggingPermission exception trying to call RMI from a Tomcat servlet

Is this list still active?

I have a simple RMI server that I can access just fine from a command-line
Jave app, but when I try to get to it from a Tomcat 5.5.9 (running Java 5.0)
servlet, I get a strange set of exceptions.

Actually, the errors occur during a call to LocateRegistry.getRegistry (host).

There is a "caused by" exception having to do with an AccessControlException
that points, strangely, to java.util.logging.LoggingPermission. The complete
stack dump is below. I've restarted Tomcat with a modified catalina.policy
file that grants all permissions, but it didn't help.

Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thanks.
