Java.policy is automatically updated when Swing PDF Converter is installed. If for some reason this process is not done automatically, here's how to do it manually: Open `java.policy` document stored in `[Lotus Domino or Notes installation folder]\jvm\lib\security` Add this statements within "grant" section: ```java // required by SWING PDF Converter for OpenOffice on server functionality permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "modifyThread"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getenv.*"; // required by SWING PDF Converter for CMIS functionality permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "write"; permission java.net.NetPermission "setDefaultAuthenticator"; ``` Save "Java.policy", restart Domino Server / Lotus Notes and test conversion. `java.policy` document should look like this: ```java // // @(#)src/security/sov/config/java.policy, security, asdev, 20060421 1.5 // =========================================================================== // Licensed Materials - Property of IBM // "Restricted Materials of IBM" // // IBM SDK, Java(tm) Technology Edition, v6 // (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1999, 2005.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.swingsoftware.com/pdf-converter-for-notes/troubleshooting/error-messages/error-java.security.accesscontrolexception-access-denied-some-class-exception.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
