I needed to add the following to my SecurityManger class:

I spoke too soon.  Apparently this isn't good enough either.
OK, I'm completely baffled.  No matter what I do I cannot get my security 
manager to use the policy file.  I also can't get it to complain if it 
isn't there.  If I change the URI above to be "file:///
i_am_a_missing_file"  I don't get an exception or anything and the code 
behaves in exactly the same way.  
I also can't find a way to simply go through the policy file an print out 
what permissions have been granted.  You can do so if you provide a code 
base, but I really want to see everything in the loaded system policy and 
see if it matches what I expect it to be.  
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
