A DownloadPermission
contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no action list; you either have the named permission or you don't. The only defined target name is "permit", which allows a downloaded class with a CodeSource
that is granted the permission to be defined by a class loader created by RMIClassLoader
.
Selective granting of this permission can be used to restrict the CodeSource
values (codebase URLs and signers) from which downloaded classes can be defined using RMIClassLoader
.
Note that this permission is only enforced if the current {@link RMIClassLoader} provider supports it; not allRMIClassLoader
providers support this permission. In particular, the default provider (see {@link RMIClassLoader#getDefaultProviderInstance RMIClassLoader.getDefaultProviderInstance}) does not support this permission, and so when the default provider is used, downloaded classes do not need to be granted DownloadPermission
in order to be defined using RMIClassLoader
. {@link PreferredClassProvider} itselfdoes not enforce this permission, but subclasses may configure it to do so (see {@link RequireDlPermProvider}).
