Problem statement:
If you have enabled security manager ( In Java 8 , security manager is enabled by default ) and using non-default external resources directory, then you might observe errors in the Job while loading external libraries. This is a known issue in the Platform August release.
Example error:
Provider com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver could not be instantiated
Affected Versions: August, 2023 Platform release
Solution:
Add the external resource path to the security policy in the “Advanced Configuration” dialog of the deployment.
Example:
For SDC, you should add below policy:
grant codebase "file://${sdc.dist.dir}/externalResources/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
}:And for transformer, the equivalent is:
grant codebase "file://${transformer.dist.dir)/externalResources/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
