Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Trying to use a SecurityManager, like this [0]. It resulted in the following error, [1], being thrown.

[0]
From InformationClient.java:

     if (System.getSecurityManager() == null)

        {

            System.setSecurityManager(new java.rmi.RMISecurityManager());

        }

          try

          {

               Hashtable <String,String> properties = new Hashtable<String,String>();

               properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");

               properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, m_providerUrl);

               properties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interface");

               InformationHome home = InformationUtil.getHome(properties);

               m_client = home.create();

          }

          catch (Exception e)

          {

               System.out.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());

          }
