BIRT giving OSGi errors in Tomcat

sajidrocks

Hi,
When I deploy the BIRT sample application as a WAR file in Tomcat (Linux), I get an OSGi exception, with a message, like "Can't startup OSGi framework", and looking at the tomcat.log, I see there's an "Access denied" error.

I can solve this problem by adding an AllPermission rule in tomcat security policy file for BIRT's working directory in Tomcat.

I am wondering if there's a workaround to this, wherein I don't have to update Tomcat's security policy and yet I can make BIRT work in Tomcat when I deploy it as a WAR file?

Any help and lead to resolving this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks
