Description of problem:

Appletviewer is missing permissions to access time zone data: 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[schonef@localhost javatest]$ appletviewer -J-version
java version "1.7.0"
IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-kojibuilder_27_sep_2007_14_56-b00)
IcedTea Client VM (build 11.0-b05, mixed mode)



How reproducible:

Start an applet with appletviewer

  
Actual results:

[schonef@localhost javatest]$ appletviewer IcedTea170Test3.html 
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.util.PropertyPermission user.zoneinfo.dir read)
        at
java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:342)
        at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:554)




Expected results:

Additional info:

Had to add the following permissions: 

[schonef@localhost javatest]$ more mypolicy.txt 
grant {
        Permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.zoneinfo.dir","read";
        Permission java.io.FilePermission
"/usr/share/javazi/ZoneInfoMappings", "read";
};
