JSP Toolkit - Integration between Blackboard and Keystone

Hi,

Our uni is in the process of integrating Keystone into our Blackboard system. In case you haven't heard of Blackboard, it is a virtual learning envrionment, that is developed on JAVA platform, and generally sits on a linux box.

So your JSP Toolkit is obviously the best choice. I've downloaded the JSP Toolkit, and tried it on my local Tomcat server. It worked fine. I can connect to your sandbox server. I can connect to our Keystone server without any problem.

The problem happened when I installed the JSP toolkit onto our Blackboard server in the form of a building block. The exception I got is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission sandbox.talis.com:80 connect,resolve)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems more like a security policy problem. I just wondered if anyone has heard of this problem before when using the JSP toolkit.

Why the toolkit worked fine on one tomcat server, but not another?

Should I ask our Blackboard server admin to modify the policy file on the Blackboard server?

Thanks in advance.
