The special action "*" will represent all actions. The resolve action is implied by the class, execute and resource actions.

The name of this permission is a filter expression. The filter gives access to the following attributes:

• signer - A Distinguished Name chain used to sign a bundle. Wildcards in a DN are not matched according to the filter string rules, but according to the rules defined for a DN chain.
• location - The location of a bundle.
• id - The bundle ID of the designated bundle.
• name - The symbolic name of a bundle.

Filter attribute names are processed in a case sensitive manner.

Constructor Detail

AdminPermission

public AdminPermission()

Creates a new AdminPermission object that matches all bundles and has all actions. Equivalent to AdminPermission("*","*");

AdminPermission

public AdminPermission(java.lang.String filter,
                       java.lang.String actions)

Create a new AdminPermission. This constructor must only be used to create a permission that is going to be checked.

Examples:

 (signer=\*,o=ACME,c=US)   
 (&(signer=\*,o=ACME,c=US)(name=com.acme.*)(location=http://www.acme.com/bundles/*))
 (id>=1)
 

When a signer key is used within the filter expression the signer value must escape the special filter chars ('*', '(', ')').

Null arguments are equivalent to "*".

Parameters:

filter - A filter expression that can use signer, location, id, and name keys. A value of "*" or null matches all bundle. Filter attribute names are processed in a case sensitive manner.

actions - class, execute, extensionLifecycle, lifecycle, listener, metadata, resolve , resource, startlevel or context. A value of "*" or null indicates all actions.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the filter has an invalid syntax.

AdminPermission

public AdminPermission(Bundle bundle,
                       java.lang.String actions)

Creates a new requested AdminPermission object to be used by the code that must perform checkPermission. AdminPermission objects created with this constructor cannot be added to an AdminPermission permission collection.

Parameters:

bundle - A bundle.

actions - class, execute, extensionLifecycle, lifecycle, listener, metadata, resolve , resource, startlevel, context. A value of "*" or null indicates all actions.

Since:

1.3

Method Detail

implies

public boolean implies(java.security.Permission p)

Determines if the specified permission is implied by this object. This method throws an exception if the specified permission was not constructed with a bundle.

This method returns true if the specified permission is an AdminPermission AND

• this object's filter matches the specified permission's bundle ID, bundle symbolic name, bundle location and bundle signer distinguished name chain OR
• this object's filter is "*"

AND this object's actions include all of the specified permission's actions.

Special case: if the specified permission was constructed with "*" filter, then this method returns true if this object's filter is "*" and this object's actions include all of the specified permission's actions

Overrides:

implies in class java.security.BasicPermission

Parameters:

p - The requested permission.

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 AdminPermission actions.

Always returns present AdminPermission actions in the following order: class, execute, extensionLifecycle, lifecycle, listener, metadata, resolve, resource, startlevel, context.

Overrides:

getActions in class java.security.BasicPermission

Returns:

Canonical string representation of the AdminPermission actions.

newPermissionCollection

public java.security.PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()

Returns a new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing AdminPermissions.

Overrides:

newPermissionCollection in class java.security.Permission

Returns:

A new PermissionCollection object.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Determines the equality of two AdminPermission objects.

Overrides:

equals in class java.security.BasicPermission

Parameters:

obj - The object being compared for equality with this object.

Returns:

true if obj is equivalent to this AdminPermission; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.security.BasicPermission

Returns:

Hash code value for this object.
