java.lang.Object

java.security.Permission

net.jini.security.AccessPermission

org.apache.river.mahalo.MahaloPermission

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Guard

public class MahaloPermission
extends AccessPermission

Represents permissions that can be used to express the access control policy for the Mahalo server exported with a BasicJeriExporter. This class can be passed to BasicInvocationDispatcher, and then used in security policy permission grants.

An instance 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 convention is that the target name is the non-qualified name of the remote method being invoked. Wildcard matches are supported using the syntax specified by AccessPermission.

The possible target names for use with a Mahalo server are specified in the package documentation for org.apache.river.mahalo
