Comment 1 Michal Karm Babacek 2013-09-11 13:30:42 UTC 
I've just cross-checked with EAP 6.1.1.ER7 on the same JDK with the same environment and this error didn't appear.

Furthermore, I confirm that this error does not occur on OpenJDK6, OpenJDK7, Opeacle JDK6, Opracle JDK7 nor on IBM JDK7  [both RHEL 6/5] 


One may want to see the full error log: https://url.corp.redhat.com/3154abf  (a simple test that starts several AS7 instances...)
Comment 2 Rostislav Svoboda 2013-09-13 12:26:14 UTC 
We have met this error in interoperability tests too.
Comment 3 Ondrej Chaloupka 2013-09-17 14:02:33 UTC 
There is not possible to do any DMR operation on java IBM JDK6. It really blocks my testing as I use arquillian tests and doing changes via DMR api.

Reproduce:
 - switch to IBM JDK 6
 - $JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
 - $JBOSS_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh

You'll get exceptions like:
BAS014612: Operation ("read-children-types") failed - address: ([]): java.lang.SecurityException: unable to instantiate Subject-based policy
and
JBAS014612: Operation ("read-attribute") failed - address: ([]): java.lang.SecurityException: unable to instantiate Subject-based policy

ER2 update: this is still an important and test blocking issue. 

See the snippet of the server log here: http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/164593
Comment 6 Petr Kremensky 2013-09-30 12:13:00 UTC 
Verified on EAP 6.2.0.ER3
