Security Settings

[Vladimir Kositsky]

Hi!
I was trying to run example program from wrox book.
If i understood right,this example mention changing JDK1.3/jre/lib/security/java.policy to

grant codeBase "file:${java.home}/lib/ext/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant {
    // Allow everything for now
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

But program works only if file placed it to C:\WINDOWS directory (C:\JDK1.3) under name ".java.policy" (!!).
I got quite messed with this staff, probably i need to change java.security settings. What exactly i need to change?
2.I found in archive of this conference nice example of custom policy setting, unfortunatelly i could not use it and no following running consequences explained, and this example probably for UNIX platform

You can avoid messing with the JVM security policy if you put a custom policy in the same directory as your server and then run your server using the -D option. Here's an example of a simple policy file which I call "security.policy":
code:
grant {
// Allow everything for now 
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase
"file://myserverpath/htdocs/rmi/" {
   permission java.net.SocketPermission
   "127.0.0.1", "accept, connect, listen, resolve";
};
Put this in the same directory as your server and then start up you server like this:
java -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=myserver.com -Djava.security.policy=security.policy RMIServer &

What could be put instead of myserver.com if file containing server named for instance Server.class and client and server are running on the same mashine?
Thanks in advance
