.POLICY File

File extension policy is generally related to Java. The java.policy file is a global default policy file that is shared by all of the Java programs that run in the Java virtual machine (JVM) on the node. A change to the java.policy file is local for the node.

The default Java policy is picked up automatically. Syntax errors in the policy files cause the application server to fail. An updated java.policy file is applied to all the Java programs that run in all the JVMs on the local node. Restart the programs for the updates to take effect. Modifying this file is not recommended.

If a specific change is required to some of the Java programs on a node and the java.policy file requires updating, carefully modify the java.policy file with the policy tool.
