Class WirePermission

java.lang.Object
  java.security.Permission
      java.security.BasicPermission
          org.osgi.service.wireadmin.WirePermission

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.security.Guard, java.io.Serializable

public final class WirePermission

extends java.security.BasicPermission

Permission for the scope of a Wire object. When a Envelope object is used for communication with the poll or update method, and the scope is set, then the Wire object must verify that the Consumer service has WirePermission[name,CONSUME] and the Producer service has WirePermission[name,PRODUCE] for all names in the scope.

The names are compared with the normal rules for permission names. This means that they may end with a "*" to indicate wildcards. E.g. Door.* indicates all scope names starting with the string "Door". The last period is required due to the implementations of the BasicPermission class.

Create a new WirePermission with the given name (may be wildcard) and actions.

Method Detail

implies

public boolean implies(java.security.Permission p)

Checks if this WirePermission object implies the specified permission.

More specifically, this method returns true if:

• p is an instanceof the WirePermission class,
• p's actions are a proper subset of this object's actions, and
• p's name is implied by this object's name. For example, java.* implies java.home.

Parameters:

p - The permission to check against.

Returns:

true if the specified permission is implied by this object; false otherwise.

getActions

public java.lang.String getActions()

Returns the canonical string representation of the actions. Always returns present actions in the following order: produce, consume.

Returns:

The canonical string representation of the actions.

newPermissionCollection

public java.security.PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()

Returns a new PermissionCollection object for storing WirePermission objects.

Returns:

A new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing WirePermission objects.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Determines the equalty of two WirePermission objects. Checks that specified object has the same name and actions as this WirePermission object.

Parameters:

obj - The object to test for equality.

Returns:

true if obj is a WirePermission, and has the same name and actions as this WirePermission object; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this object.

Returns:

Hash code value for this object.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string describing this WirePermission. The convention is to specify the class name, the permission name, and the actions in the following format: '(org.osgi.service.wireadmin.WirePermission "name" "actions")'.

Returns:
