Hi all, hope everyone is staying safe & well…  
I am looking in to Tomcat Hosting providers in UK and found this company/service

> **[Tomcat Hosting UK - ITA Network Solutions UK](https://www.itanets.co.uk/tomcat-hosting.html)**
>
> Tomcat Hosting UK from ITA Network Solutions UK. Web Hosting & Java Web Hosting Services. Domains, Wordpress Web Hosting, Plesk Web Hosting, Reseller Web Hosting & Affiliate Web Hosting.

I thought I would pay up for a month to give it a try (as they don’t offer a trial, but do refunds…)  
They have a few interesting ways of doing things

1. WAR files need to be ‘unpacked’ & folder copied over (no auto expansion/deployment)
2. a request has to be made to ‘deploy’ solution
3. they have Tomcat’s security manager enabled  
I copied over a WAR folder (from a Servoy WAR export without solution) and it has thrown an error that I think is caused by point (3)  
The error is

```auto
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" "setContextClassLoader")

```

I’m not a Tomcat/WAR expert [although I have manage to deploy Tomcat based solutions on a Mac server] but I’m not sure what this error is or how to solve it.

I have 2 questions

1. does anyone know what this error means & how I can ‘fix’ it (does Servoy work with Tomcat’s security manager enabled?) ??
2. OR, [other than using an AWS instance] does anyone know/recommend a UK cheap & easy Tomcat hosting provider (client does not have much money) [this provider has very good pricing…] ??

Thanks  
Rafi

Hi Rafi,

I have three accounts with Tomcats at [Brightbox.com](http://Brightbox.com). They are more expensive but more flexible.  
No workarounds to use the Tomcats, they set up what you want. Rather than using cloud SQL, one client has a local PostgreSQL on a 2GB linux server to save money - their DB is small.  
Brightbox have set up Tomcats for both Smart Client and NG-Client – soon NG-Client only ![;-)]( "Wink")
