[Bug 410379] [NEW] Tomcat security configuration error prevents proper logging

[dukat]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Server 8.04.3 LTS
tomcat5.5, 5.5.25-5ubuntu1.2

Tomcat's logging facility does not work in a clean default installation:
No logfiles at all are generated in /var/log/tomcat5.5, even if severe
errors occur in Tomcat.

The problem seems to be a permission error. Looking at syslog, I can see at startup:
  18:31:33 hikuku jsvc.exec[25015]: Could not load Logmanager "org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager"
Aug  7 18:31:33 hikuku jsvc.exec[25015]: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission setContextClassLoader)

Afterwards the syslog is clogged completely with "Can't load log handler
"1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler"" entries all over.

I guess it's a problem with the catalina.policy file, but I have no idea
how to fix this.

Please don't tell me to upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version, for my server
I need LTS...
