WARNING: Error registering request

Reason and fix:

Java is using the default security model,  and it uses a file in JRE_HOME/lib/security called java.policy. Edit this file and add the following:

grant {
permission mx4j.server.MBeanTrustPermission "register";

permission javax.management.MBeanTrustPermission "register";
};

Restart the Applicare server after making the changes and the AccessControlException should be resolved.
