/**
 * A Policy object is responsible for determining whether code executing
 * in the Java runtime environment has permission to perform a
 * security-sensitive operation.
 *
 * <p> There is only one Policy object installed in the runtime at any
 * given time.  A Policy object can be installed by calling the
 * <code>setPolicy</code> method.  The installed Policy object can be
 * obtained by calling the <code>getPolicy</code> method.
 *
 * <p> If no Policy object has been installed in the runtime, a call to
 * <code>getPolicy</code> installs an instance of the default Policy
 * implementation (a default subclass implementation of this abstract class).
 * The default Policy implementation can be changed by setting the value
 * of the "policy.provider" security property (in the Java security properties
 * file) to the fully qualified name of the desired Policy subclass
 * implementation.  The Java security properties file is located in the
 * file named <JAVA_HOME>/lib/security/java.security.
 * <JAVA_HOME> refers to the value of the java.home system property,
 * and specifies the directory where the JRE is installed.
 *
 * <p> Application code can directly subclass Policy to provide a custom
 * implementation.  In addition, an instance of a Policy object can be
 * constructed by invoking one of the <code>getInstance</code> factory methods
 * with a standard type.  The default policy type is "JavaPolicy".
 * See Appendix A in the <a href="../../../technotes/guides/security/crypto/CryptoSpec.html#AppA">
 * Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification & Reference </a>
 * for a list of standard Policy types.
 *
 * <p> Once a Policy instance has been installed (either by default, or by
 * calling <code>setPolicy</code>),
 * the Java runtime invokes its <code>implies</code> when it needs to
 * determine whether executing code (encapsulated in a ProtectionDomain)
 * can perform SecurityManager-protected operations.  How a Policy object
 * retrieves its policy data is up to the Policy implementation itself.
 * The policy data may be stored, for example, in a flat ASCII file,
 * in a serialized binary file of the Policy class, or in a database.
 *
 * <p> The <code>refresh</code> method causes the policy object to
 * refresh/reload its data.  This operation is implementation-dependent.
 * For example, if the policy object stores its data in configuration files,
 * calling <code>refresh</code> will cause it to re-read the configuration 
 * policy files.  If a refresh operation is not supported, this method does
 * nothing.  Note that refreshed policy may not have an effect on classes
 * in a particular ProtectionDomain. This is dependent on the Policy
 * provider's implementation of the <code>implies</code>
 * method and its PermissionCollection caching strategy.
