SubjectDelegationPermission

Class Overview

Permission required by an authentication identity to perform operations on behalf of an authorization identity.

A SubjectDelegationPermission contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.

The target name is the name of the authorization principal classname followed by a period and the authorization principal name, that is "PrincipalClassName.PrincipalName".

An asterisk may appear by itself, or if immediately preceded by a "." may appear at the end of the target name, to signify a wildcard match.

For example, "*", "javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.*" and "javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.delegate" are valid target names. The first one denotes any principal name from any principal class, the second one denotes any principal name of the concrete principal class javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal and the third one denotes a concrete principal name delegate of the concrete principal class javax.management.remote.JMXPrincipal.

From class java.security.BasicPermission boolean equals(Object obj) Checks two BasicPermission objects for equality. String getActions() Returns the canonical string representation of the actions, which currently is the empty string "", since there are no actions for a BasicPermission. int hashCode() Returns the hash code value for this object. boolean implies(Permission p) Checks if the specified permission is "implied" by this object. PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection() Returns a new PermissionCollection object for storing BasicPermission objects.
From class java.security.Permission void checkGuard(Object object) Implements the guard interface for a permission. abstract boolean equals(Object obj) Checks two Permission objects for equality. abstract String getActions() Returns the actions as a String. final String getName() Returns the name of this Permission. abstract int hashCode() Returns the hash code value for this Permission object. abstract boolean implies(Permission permission) Checks if the specified permission's actions are "implied by" this object's actions. PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection() Returns an empty PermissionCollection for a given Permission object, or null if one is not defined. String toString() Returns a string describing this Permission.
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
From interface java.security.Guard abstract void checkGuard(Object object) Determines whether or not to allow access to the guarded object object.
