Re: Reading XML/RSS file in SSJS

I can confirm, you do need to loosen the permissions for this to work (at your own risk of course) or you can use the extensibility api to create a component and use that. Those have full security granted to do things like that.

Re: Reading XML/RSS file in SSJS

Jeremy,

I loosened the permissions but still got the same error.

This is what I did:

1. Opened the file "java.policy" in the directory "<Lotus Notes Installation>\jvm\lib\security" and added the following lines to it

grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

2. Restarted my Lotus Notes client (I am doing this on my local machine and local database)

Am I missing something?

Do you have a firewall on your local computer that blocks connections on on unknown apps ?

Yes, I have a firewall.

This is crazy!! I will have to completely open up my computer to hackers in order for this program to run.

Any other way to read XML/RSS files which does not require compromising security on my computer / servers?

This would be an outbound connection, not an inbound connection. You don't need to allow port 80 in, just out. Hackers won't be involved unless they're sniffing what you're requesting.

Re: Reading XML/RSS file in SSJS

I know this reply is late but I finally found the culprit - Proxy!

If you have a proxy set then you can access websites using the java.net.URL (http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URL.html) class by calling the function openConnection(java.net.Proxy) and define the proxy address & port.

Hope this helps someone else !
