      Description

        Consider the following test:

        import org.omg.CORBA.ORB;
        import java.util.Properties;

        public class Test {
            public static void main(String[] args) {
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass",
                          "com.sun.corba.se.impl.orb.ORBImpl");
        props.put("org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass",
                          "com.sun.corba.se.impl.orb.ORBSingleton");
        ORB orb = ORB.init(args, props);
            }
        }

        Now run this with a security manager:

        $ java -Djava.security.manager Test
        Exception in thread "main" org.omg.CORBA.INITIALIZE: can't instantiate default ORB implementation com.sun.corba.se.impl.orb.ORBImpl vmcid: 0x0 minor code: 0 completed: No

        ... 2 more

        This is new behavior, in shipping JDK releases then this would run without throwing a security exception.
