Serializable
public final class Permissions extends PermissionCollection implements Serializable
java.io.FilePermission
objects are added to an instance of
this class, they are all stored in a single
PermissionCollection. It is the PermissionCollection returned by a call to
the newPermissionCollection
method in the FilePermission class.
Similarly, any java.lang.RuntimePermission
objects are
stored in the PermissionCollection returned by a call to the
newPermissionCollection
method in the
RuntimePermission class. Thus, this class represents a collection of
PermissionCollections.
When the add
method is called to add a Permission, the
Permission is stored in the appropriate PermissionCollection. If no such
collection exists yet, the Permission object's class is determined and the
newPermissionCollection
method is called on that class to create
the PermissionCollection and add it to the Permissions object. If
newPermissionCollection
returns null, then a default
PermissionCollection that uses a hashtable will be created and used. Each
hashtable entry stores a Permission object as both the key and the value.
Enumerations returned via the elements
method are
not fail-fast. Modifications to a collection should not be
performed while enumerating over that collection.

add
Adds a permission object to the PermissionCollection for the class the permission belongs to. For example, if permission is a FilePermission, it is added to the FilePermissionCollection stored in this Permissions object. This method creates a new PermissionCollection object (and adds the permission to it) if an appropriate collection does not yet exist.- Specified by:
add
in classPermissionCollection
- Parameters:
permission
- the Permission object to add.- Throws:
SecurityException
- if this Permissions object is marked as readonly.- See Also:
PermissionCollection.isReadOnly()
-
implies
Checks to see if this object's PermissionCollection for permissions of the specified permission's class implies the permissions expressed in the permission object. Returns true if the combination of permissions in the appropriate PermissionCollection (e.g., a FilePermissionCollection for a FilePermission) together imply the specified permission.For example, suppose there is a FilePermissionCollection in this Permissions object, and it contains one FilePermission that specifies "read" access for all files in all subdirectories of the "/tmp" directory, and another FilePermission that specifies "write" access for all files in the "/tmp/scratch/foo" directory. Then if the
implies
method is called with a permission specifying both "read" and "write" access to files in the "/tmp/scratch/foo" directory,true
is returned.Additionally, if this PermissionCollection contains the AllPermission, this method will always return true.
- Specified by:
implies
in classPermissionCollection
- Parameters:
permission
- the Permission object to check.- Returns:
- true if "permission" is implied by the permissions in the PermissionCollection it belongs to, false if not.
-
elements
Returns an enumeration of all the Permission objects in all the PermissionCollections in this Permissions object.- Specified by:
elements
in classPermissionCollection
- Returns:
- an enumeration of all the Permissions.
