Java apps can't use network

Hi,
I tried running some Java apps on Fedora Core 4 with SELinux enabled and they
can't connect to network. The symptoms are strange (at least for me, I'm new
to SELinux):
1) I use TARGETED policy - I thought it shouldn't restrict applications unless
they were explicitly listed?
2) I tried setting SELINUX to PERMISSIVE - the apps still couldn't use
network.
3) The apps are blocked silently - no info in syslog, regardless of SELINUX
mode.
All non-Java apps can use the network. All non-network related Java functions
seem to work just fine. I tried 2 versions of Sun JRE.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? Can I use my Java software without
totally disabling SELinux?
Regards,
Igor Wawrzyniak
