MapPermission

public MapPermission(java.lang.String name,
                     java.lang.String actions)

Constructs a new MapPermission for the named map with the specified actions.

The map name for this permission should be in the format of .

Parameters:

name - the map name.

actions - the comma separated list of actions, such as "read", "write", "remove", "insert", and "invalidate".

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if name is null or malformed or if actions is null or contains an invalidate action name

MapPermission

public MapPermission(java.lang.String name,
                     int actions)

Constructs a new MapPermission for the named map with the specified actions.

The map name for this permission should be in the format of .

Parameters:

name - the map name

actions - the actions mask. For example, MapPermission.READ|MapPermission.WRITE

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if name is null or malformed or if actions is less than 0 or greater than ALL

Method Detail

implies

public boolean implies(java.security.Permission permission)

Checks if the specified permission is "implied" by this object.

More specifically, this method returns true if:

• permission's class is the same as this object's class, and

• permission's name is equal to or (in the case of wildcards) is implied by this object's name. For example, "a.*" implies "a.b"., and

• permission's actions are equal to or are a subset of this object's actions

Specified by:

implies in class java.security.Permission

Parameters:

permission - the permission to check against.

Returns:

true if the passed permission is equal to or implied by this permission, false otherwise.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Checks two MapPermission objects for equality. Two MapPermission objects are equal if and only if their names and actions are equal.

Do not use the equals method for making access control decisions; use the implies method.

Specified by:

equals in class java.security.Permission

Parameters:

o - the object we are testing for equality with this object.

Returns:

true if both MapPermission objects are equivalent.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this MapPermission object.

Specified by:

hashCode in class java.security.Permission

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

getActions

public java.lang.String getActions()

Returns the actions as a String.

Specified by:

getActions in class java.security.Permission

Returns:

the actions of this Permission.

getActions

public static java.lang.String getActions(int m)

Returns the actions as a String for the specified mask.

Parameters:

m - the mask

Returns:

the action string representation for the mask

getParsedNames

public java.lang.String[] getParsedNames()

Returns an array which contains the object grid name and map name.

Returns:

the parsed name array

getActionsInInt

public int getActionsInInt()

Returns an int mask value which represents the permission's actions.

For example, for a MapPermission which has read and insert permissions, the returned value will be 5 (MapPermission.READ|MapPermission.INSERT).

Returns:

an int value which represents the permission.
