Package net.jini.security.policy Description

Provides an interface for security policy providers capable of dynamic permission grants, an interface for security manager or policy providers that use custom security context state, and a security policy provider supporting dynamic permission grants.

The DynamicPolicy interface is implemented by security policy providers that may support dynamic granting of permissions at run-time. One such provider is DynamicPolicyProvider, which layers dynamic grant functionality on top of a "static" security policy provider (that is, one incapable of dynamic permission grants itself).

The default static security policy used by DynamicPolicyProvider is PolicyFileProvider: a policy implementation that wraps the J2SE(TM) default "PolicyFile" security policy provider distributed as part of the Java(TM) 2 Platform, Standard Edition. PolicyFileProvider augments the J2SE default policy provider with convenience constructors as well as support for a special-cased permission, UmbrellaGrantPermission, which signifies a GrantPermission for all permissions authorized to a given protection domain.

The SecurityContextSource interface is intended to be implemented by security managers and policy providers whose security contexts include state in addition to that provided by AccessControlContext.
