Yes, this is what you need to do. TOMCAT_SECURITY enables the Java
security manager which drastically restricts what your Java program
can do. If you enable the security manager, you need to explicitly
allow every little movement of your Java program in a policy file. It
makes sense to do this if you let users run Java code that you don't
control on your server, and you are afraid that they might write
malicious Java code that crashes the entire server. But if it is your
application you are running on your server, going to the trouble of
enabling the security manager is IMHO not worth the effort. To give
you an idea of what a (now outdated) policy file for Orbeon Forms
would look like, see:
