Error description

When trying to configure Java 2 security policy files you will
see an issue if you are using non-isolated shared libraries and
want to put your Java 2 security permissions in the
library.policy file.  The permissions will not be applied.
The usual result is SECJ0314W complaining about the permission
that you expected to be applied not being granted.

Local fix

use was.policy,  or package code in war and use app.policy, or
use an isolated shared library and use library.policy

*                  Server                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: library.policy permissions are not      *
*                      applied to non-isolated shared          *
*                      libraries associated with web modules   *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When WebSphere Application Server application and module class
loaders are created, security policy settings are configured
on those loaders' code sources based on the appropriate
security policy.  However, the configuration specified in
library.policy was not applied to paths of non-isolated shared
libraries associated with a web module's class loader.  Shared
libraries using an isolated class loader did not see this
issue, as they were given their own separate class loader.

Problem conclusion

Additional processing was added to ensure that shared library
paths were associated with the appropriate security
policy.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.39, 8.0.0.12, and 8.5.5.8.  Please refer to the
