I am trying to create a chat system that requires the use of JavaSpace. For the most part this is working, except when trying to get auto notifications working so my list can be updated on addition of a new entry to the list from the space when entries are added. This has become an issue as I get a java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError. The full trace output is as follows.

Any help would be thankfully received.
Ok, so the answer to this question is that the project required a security policy seen here
After adding the security policy to the project in netbeans using the -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=/src/destination/to/file/policy.all the issue was resolved
