JAXB and JAX-WS tests were ran and found no regressions when security manager is enabled.  It is recently uncovered that FilePermission is missing from JAXB and RuntimePermission("createClassLoader") is missing from JAX-WS.  We have uncovered that the test policy file used by JAXB and JAX-WS tests grant permissions to the default code source that masks this problem.

Sigh, this is sad as there was a lot of effort put in by the EE folks to 
get this code running with reduced permissions. Hopefully the tests can 
be fixed and this issue revised some day. The changes look okay for now. 
In passing, can the jdk.incurbator.httpclient be dropped from the policy 
file as it is not granted any permissions.
