Description

Starting with 10.5, Network server will attempt to create the trace directory (and any parent directories) if they do not exist. This will require that the derbynet.jar permit verification of the existence of the named trace directory and all necessary parent directories. For each directory created, the policy will require
permission java.io.FilePermission "<directory>", "read,write"

and the trace directory will require
permission java.io.FilePermission "<trace directory>${/}/-", "write"
