Hi everyone.

I will try to summarize my issue here.

I have WildFly 9.0.2 where I want to do some auditing using AspectJ.

After some research I've added these parameters to the standalone.bat startup file:

set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs=org.jboss.byteman,org.jboss.logmanager,org.aspectj,com.mycompany.aop"
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xbootclasspath/p:%JBOSS_HOME%\modules\system\layers\base\org\jboss\logmanager\main\jboss-logmanager-2.0.0.Final.jar;%JBOSS_HOME%\modules\com\mycompany\aop\main\aop.jar;%JBOSS_HOME%\modules\org\aspectj\main\aspectjrt-1.8.7.jar;%JBOSS_HOME%\modules\system\layers\base\org\jboss\log4j\logmanager\main\log4j-jboss-logmanager-1.1.2.Final.jar"
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager"
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -javaagent:%JBOSS_HOME%\modules\org\aspectj\main\aspectjweaver-1.8.7.jar"

This works fine, WildFly starts up and I can weave my classes and get AOP working.

However, I also want to use a Java Security Manager. So i've added:

set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.security.policy=%JBOSS_HOME%\java.policy -Djava.security.debug=failure,access,policy"

And uncommented the SECMGR=true variable:

set "SECMGR=true"

This is the content of my java.policy file:

grant {
        // Allow everything for now
        permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

From this moment on I can't start WildFly anymore, I get the error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The LogManager was not properly installed (you must set the "java.util.logging.manager"
 system property to "org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager")
        at org.jboss.logmanager.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:57)
        at org.jboss.as.server.Main.main(Main.java:85)

        at org.jboss.modules.Module.run(Module.java:308)
        at org.jboss.modules.Main.main(Main.java:487)

For some reason the LogManager is not installed when using the java.policy and activating the java security manager.

Any thoughts on this ?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
