  Problem occurs with Java 2 security enabled. Although the code
  tolerates the exception and continues to work properly, logs may
  be flooded with occurrences of this exception.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• org.apache.xml.serializer.dom3.DOM3TreeWalker needs to read the
  user.dir directory, which can result in a
  java.security.AccessControlException when Java 2 security is
  enabled. This exception does not affect normal operation, but in
  many cases will be logged.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  6.0.0 SR11
  .
  The affected code has been modified to avoid throwing the
  exception.
  

Temporary fix
