Hi,

When try to access a web service via java.xml.ws module from a Webstart application I get the following exception:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\basename" "read")
             at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(java.base at 9-ea/AccessControlContext.java:471)
             at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(java.base at 9-ea/AccessController.java:894)
             at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(java.base at 9-ea/SecurityManager.java:548)
             at com.sun.javaws.security.JavaWebStartSecurity.checkPermission(jdk.javaws at 9-ea/JavaWebStartSecurity.java:237)
             at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkRead(java.base at 9-ea/SecurityManager.java:887)
             at java.io.File.isDirectory(java.base at 9-ea/File.java:845)
             at java.io.File.toURI(java.base at 9-ea/File.java:733)
            ...

and later after asking me for permission to connect to the webservice URL:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.net.NetPermission" "getProxySelector")
             at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(java.base at 9-ea/AccessControlContext.java:471)
             at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(java.base at 9-ea/AccessController.java:894)
            ...

although I've added
  <security>
    <all-permissions />
  </security>

to the JNLP-file and signed the Jars.

The same Webstart application works with Java 8.

Is there anything else that I need to configure?

I'm using JRE-version 9-ea+142 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM on Windows 7.

Best regards,
Gerd
