I had a similar but different problem with a Java Servlet.  It turns out that on the Raq the Tomcat 
Policy file is rewritten every time apache starts by a cobalt perl script.  

The script is located ( on our machine ) here:

    /usr/java/jakarta-tomcat/bin/cobalt_config.pl

There are several lines which begin

      print NEW_POLICY "  permission java.io .....

You will have to add your own line here with the appropriate permissions.  I am not much of a 
Java guru so I don't really know what these would be in your case.

Maybe someone else can help here ?
