Tried this out using javau as the language and that does, in fact, solve the permission problem -i.e. I get no error when using javau. So the question is whether this is the expected behavior. I'm thinking no, because this was in the test example and should work. Thus the question is why I'm running into this #fail...

However, I wanted to be sure I understood what is going on here, and what the is the correct diagnosis. This error seems to be caused by the normal, underlying Java mechanism for dealing with timezones. As such, reading this file would seem to be the correct functioning of the system. It seems a little odd that the underlying system's required reading from the file system would throw a security exception. I can certainly understand if this was non-system code, but I would have thought the correct permissions were ensured by the system code.

If I'm doing something wrong, or may have set something up incorrectly, please let me know. It would be useful to understand what's going on here. There does not seem to be anything printed out in the postgres logs other than:
