= 1st part of the issue =

You are running tomcat with the security manager. It is the java
permissions, not the unix permissions.

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/security-manager-howto.html

You can either run tomcat without the security manager, or adjust the
permissions.

For tomcat they are usually configured in the
tomcat/conf/catalina.policy, in some linux distributions this file
could be generated from some others, please look how it works in your
case.

Your should add the following line

permission java.util.PropertyPermission "FBLog4j", "read";

Also you application may require some other permissions - access to
other system properties, files & folders, sockets, etc.

= 2nd part of the issue =

Firebird client should ignore SecurityException when reading this
property.
