Create custom application control policies for a BlackBerry Java Application

After you add a BlackBerry Java Application to the application repository, you can configure the application to use the standard application control policies, or you can create custom application control policies for the application. If you want a BlackBerry Java Application to use custom application control policies, you must create the custom application control policies before you add the application to a software configuration. When you add the application to a software configuration, you can select which custom application control policy you want to apply to the application.

If you add the BlackBerry Java Application to multiple software configurations and you assign different custom application control policies to the BlackBerry Java Application in the different software configurations, you must set the priority for the custom application control policies. This priority determines which custom application control policy the BlackBerry Policy Service applies if you assign multiple software configurations to a user account.
