FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Corporate Environment - No direct connection to the internet - only via http/socks-proxys

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When in an environment where proxy configuration is determined by an autoconfig-script and jars have to be downloaded via proxys, JavaWS fails because of java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.net.SocketPermission" "docs.oracle.com" "resolve")

Because of different proxys for different destinations a single proxy configuration isn't applicable.


REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 8u20

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION: 
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Be in a corporate environment and only have access to the internet and other destinations via (multiple) proxies

2. Deploy an autoconfig.conf like this:
(actual content doesn't really matter here)
====================
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
	if(dnsResolve(host) == '') {
		return "DIRECT"
	}
	if (!isResolvable(host) && dnsDomainIs(host, "some.domain.com"))
	{
		return "PROXY a.proxy.in.your.company:proxyport";
	}
	if (isInNet(host, "255.255.0.0", "255.255.0.0") && false)
	{
		return "DIRECT";
	}
	return "PROXY yourproxy:yourproxyport";
}
====================

3. Go to http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/gridbag.html
and launch the demo: 
	http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorialJWS/samples/uiswing/GridBagLayoutDemoProject/GridBagLayoutDemo.jnlp

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The jnlp should load and spawn a new java process launching the demo.
ACTUAL -
The Application could not be started because of com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException: Ressource konnte nicht geladen werden: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorialJWS/samples/uiswing/GridBagLayoutDemoProject/GridBagLayoutDemo.jnlp

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
When you must use an autoconfig-script in your environment - there's no workaround except sticking to Java 8u20 or Java 7u67; but those have critical security advirories.
