RE: More on the Java call error

Joe,

The reason I am swapping user profiles is because adopted authority
support for Java will not be supported in future releases.  

I am sure the profile is being swapped.  The way I know this is because
I did not code the Java program to swap the user back after the program
has run.  I intentionally left this code out to test the process.  Even
when the program fails to run, the user profile is set to the target
profile after the error message is received.

User profile TESTSWITCH - *allobj - target of the Java program

Works: 
user profile TEST - *allobj
Logon as TEST.
Call the RPG program from the command line.
Java constructor changes user profile to TESTSWITCH
Java completes with no errors
On command line, the user is now TESTSWITCH

Does Not work:
User profile SECTEST - limited authorities
Logon as SECTEST
Call the RPG program from the command line
Java constructor changes user profile to TESTSWITCH
Java constructor errors on StringBuffer
RPG error ends in error
On the command line, the user is now TESTSWITCH

So -- why?

Thanks :)

Mike

I'm getting a little lost in the various profiles and authorities here,
Mike, but just a side point: as far as I understand, Java is not the
only thing picky about authorities.  I'm pretty sure the IFS in general
doesn't support adopted authorities, either.

In any case, though, the symptoms indicate that the profile swap is not
occurring.  It works when you run with a user profile with *ALLOBJ, but
not when you with a profile without *ALLOBJ.  That tells me that the
profile swap in the constructor is not really working.

Wow -- this is getting more interesting.

In the constructor, the program switches to another user profile with 
*allobj authority.  It also creates log files and redirects sysout and

syserr to these new log files.  the creation of these log files is 
where the problem occurs.

When I run the program with a user profile having *allobj authority, 
it works.

When I run a program with lesser authority, the user profile switches 
during the execution and the error occurs when creating name of the 
log files in a stringbuffer.
