Hi all,

I have an app with several portlets inside (built with Spring 3.0), and all seems to work pretty well without PACL.

As soon as I set security manager to 'on', I get this strange error :

Does anyone experience this, or have any clue about it ?

Thanks in advance,

Replying to myself :-)

I added this (for spring stuff) :

security-manager-get-bean-property=\
com.liferay.portal.util.PortalUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.deploy.hot.HotDeployUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.PropsUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.DirectRequestDispatcherFactoryUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.cache.key.CacheKeyGeneratorUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.servlet.DirectServletRegistryUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.configuration.ConfigurationFactoryUtil,\
com.liferay.portlet.PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.dao.orm.EntityCacheUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.cache.CacheRegistryUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.dao.shard.ShardUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.staging.LayoutStagingUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.dao.db.DBFactoryUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.dao.orm.FinderCacheUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.security.auth.AuthTokenUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.HttpUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.service.permission.PortletPermissionUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.HtmlUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.LocaleUtil,\
com.liferay.portal.kernel.spring.util.SpringFactoryUtil

And everything is alright now.

Hope this helps,
Philippe
