Security exception when moving from toplink to eclipselink in glassfish 2.1

My app is working fine with toplink, but I need some eclipselink features, so I decided to swap.

I changed the provider in persistence.xml to:

<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>

and added the following property (though I’m not sure if this is needed):

<property name="eclipselink.target-server" value="SunAS9"/>

I’ve tried packaging eclipselink.jar with my app, and I’ve tried putting it in $GFHOME/lib and adding it to the classpath suffix through the glassfish admin ui. Whatever I do, I get:

and the app does not deploy.

Edit – I tried changing to security settings but ran into another problem

I would have though the following (in server.policy already) would have allowed
eclipselink.jar full access, but apparently not.

// Core server classes get all permissions by default
grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.installRoot}/lib/-" {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

I added the following:

grant {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

And now I get:

WARNING: "IOP00810257: (MARSHAL) Could not load class org.eclipse.persistence.indirection.IndirectList"

on the client side

Edit which I’ve just realised is GlassFish v2.1 — getting Application Client and Eclipselink to work together? and having ensured the jar gets bundled with the app, it now works.
