Not all JBoss EAP 6 properties are working in a security policy file

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The jboss.home.dir property doesn’t translate properly when used in a security policy file.
    This permission will result in a "read" error when loading the application:
permission java.io.FilePermission "${jboss.home.dir}/-", "read";

But this permission does not:

permission java.io.FilePermission "${module.path}/../-","read";

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.4
