class:ProtectionDomain [NONE]

 
  • public class ProtectionDomain
extends Object
    The ProtectionDomain class encapsulates the characteristics of a domain, which encloses a set of classes whose instances are granted a set of permissions when being executed on behalf of a given set of Principals.

    A static set of permissions can be bound to a ProtectionDomain when it is constructed; such permissions are granted to the domain regardless of the Policy in force. However, to support dynamic security policies, a ProtectionDomain can also be constructed such that it is dynamically mapped to a set of permissions by the current Policy whenever a permission is checked.

    Since:
    1.2

constructor:<init>(java.security.CodeSource,java.security.PermissionCollection) [NONE]

  • ProtectionDomain

    public ProtectionDomain​(CodeSource codesource,
                        PermissionCollection permissions)
    Creates a new ProtectionDomain with the given CodeSource and Permissions. If the permissions object is not null, then setReadOnly() will be called on the passed in Permissions object.

    The permissions granted to this domain are static, i.e. invoking the staticPermissionsOnly() method returns true. They contain only the ones passed to this constructor and the current Policy will not be consulted.

    Parameters:
    codesource - the codesource associated with this domain
    permissions - the permissions granted to this domain

constructor:<init>(java.security.CodeSource,java.security.PermissionCollection,java.lang.ClassLoader,java.security.Principal[]) [NONE]

  • ProtectionDomain

    public ProtectionDomain​(CodeSource codesource,
                        PermissionCollection permissions,
                        ClassLoader classloader,
                        Principal[] principals)
    Creates a new ProtectionDomain qualified by the given CodeSource, Permissions, ClassLoader and array of Principals. If the permissions object is not null, then setReadOnly() will be called on the passed in Permissions object.

    The permissions granted to this domain are dynamic, i.e. invoking the staticPermissionsOnly() method returns false. They include both the static permissions passed to this constructor, and any permissions granted to this domain by the current Policy at the time a permission is checked.

    This constructor is typically used by ClassLoaders and DomainCombiners which delegate to Policy to actively associate the permissions granted to this domain. This constructor affords the Policy provider the opportunity to augment the supplied PermissionCollection to reflect policy changes.

    Parameters:
    codesource - the CodeSource associated with this domain
    permissions - the permissions granted to this domain
    classloader - the ClassLoader associated with this domain
    principals - the array of Principals associated with this domain. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.
    Since:
    1.4

method:getCodeSource() [NONE]

  • getCodeSource

    public final CodeSource getCodeSource()
    Returns the CodeSource of this domain.
    Returns:
    the CodeSource of this domain which may be null.
    Since:
    1.2

method:getClassLoader() [NONE]

  • getClassLoader

    public final ClassLoader getClassLoader()
    Returns the ClassLoader of this domain.
    Returns:
    the ClassLoader of this domain which may be null.
    Since:
    1.4

method:getPrincipals() [NONE]

  • getPrincipals

    public final Principal[] getPrincipals()
    Returns an array of principals for this domain.
    Returns:
    a non-null array of principals for this domain. Returns a new array each time this method is called.
    Since:
    1.4

method:getPermissions() [NONE]

method:staticPermissionsOnly() [NONE]

  • staticPermissionsOnly

    public final boolean staticPermissionsOnly()
    Returns true if this domain contains only static permissions and does not check the current Policy at the time of permission checking.
    Returns:
    true if this domain contains only static permissions.
    Since:
    9

method:implies(java.security.Permission) [NONE]

  • implies

    public boolean implies​(Permission perm)
    Check and see if this ProtectionDomain implies the permissions expressed in the Permission object.

    The set of permissions evaluated is a function of whether the ProtectionDomain was constructed with a static set of permissions or it was bound to a dynamically mapped set of permissions.

    If the staticPermissionsOnly() method returns true, then the permission will only be checked against the PermissionCollection supplied at construction.

    Otherwise, the permission will be checked against the combination of the PermissionCollection supplied at construction and the current Policy binding.

    Parameters:
    perm - the Permission object to check.
    Returns:
    true if perm is implied by this ProtectionDomain.

method:toString() [NONE]

  • toString

    public String toString()
    Convert a ProtectionDomain to a String.
    Overrides:
    toString in class Object
    Returns:
    a string representation of the object.
