Checking isSymbolicLink should be in doPrivileged block

XMLWordPrintable

      The PathResourceManager.getSymlinkBase() method tires to check parent directories in the loop:

              for (int i = nameCount - 1; i>=0; i--) {
            if (Files.isSymbolicLink(f)) {
                return new SymlinkResult(i+1 > rootCount, f);
            }
            f = f.getParent();
        }

      So, when security manager is enabled, there is no way to grant suitable FilePermissions to this, and it will fail the security check if not <<ALL FILES>> is granted.

      Propose to move the part:

      Files.isSymbolicLink(f)

      in a doPrivileged block once security manager is enabled.
