Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tomcat-7.0.69-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time :(

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install tomcat
2. echo "SECURITY_MANAGER=\"true\"" >> /etc/sysconfig/tomcat
3. cp reproducer.tar /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/
4. service tomcat start
5. curl -is http://localhost:8080/reproducer/

Actual results:
JSP compilation fails and an error is observed

Expected results:
JSP compiles and displays correctly.

Additional info:
It looks like the java policy in use (catalina.policy) doesn't allow for use of jars from /usr/share/java
