ProtectionDomain

public class ProtectionDomain extends Object

This 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.

Constructors Summary
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 only permissions granted to this domain are the ones specified; the current Policy will not be consulted.

param
codesource the codesource associated with this domain
param
permissions the permissions granted to this domain

	if (permissions != null) {
	    this.permissions = permissions;
	    this.permissions.setReadOnly();

	this.classloader = null;
	this.principals = new Principal[0];
	staticPermissions = true;
    
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; 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 {@link SecureClassLoader ClassLoaders} and {@link DomainCombiner 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.

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

Methods Summary
public final java.lang.ClassLoadergetClassLoader()
Returns the ClassLoader of this domain.

return
the ClassLoader of this domain which may be null.
since
1.4

	return this.classloader;
    
public final java.security.CodeSourcegetCodeSource()
Returns the CodeSource of this domain.

return
the CodeSource of this domain which may be null.
since
1.2

	return this.codesource;
    
public final java.security.PermissionCollectiongetPermissions()
Returns the static permissions granted to this domain.

return
the static set of permissions for this domain which may be null.
see
Policy#refresh
see
Policy#getPermissions(ProtectionDomain)

	return permissions;
    
public final java.security.Principal[]getPrincipals()
Returns an array of principals for this domain.

return
a non-null array of principals for this domain. Returns a new array each time this method is called.
since
1.4

	return (Principal[])this.principals.clone();
    
public booleanimplies(java.security.Permission permission)
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 ProtectionDomain was constructed to a {@link #ProtectionDomain(CodeSource, PermissionCollection) statically bound} PermissionCollection then the permission will only be checked against the PermissionCollection supplied at construction.

However, if the ProtectionDomain was constructed with the constructor variant which supports {@link #ProtectionDomain(CodeSource, PermissionCollection, ClassLoader, java.security.Principal[]) dynamically binding} permissions, then the permission will be checked against the combination of the PermissionCollection supplied at construction and the current Policy binding.

param
permission the Permission object to check.
return
true if "permission" is implicit to this ProtectionDomain.

	if (!staticPermissions && 
	    Policy.getPolicyNoCheck().implies(this, permission))
	    return true;
	if (permissions != null)
