Class WrapperUserEventPermission

java.lang.Object
java.security.Permission
java.security.BasicPermission
org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.security.WrapperUserEventPermission
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Guard

public final class WrapperUserEventPermission extends BasicPermission
WrapperEventPermissions are used to grant the right to register to start receiving events from the Wrapper.

Some of these permissions can result in performance degredations if used impropperly.

The following are examples of how to specify the permission within a policy file.

   grant codeBase "file:../lib/-" {
     // Grant various permissions to a specific service.
     permission org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.security.WrapperEventPermission "service";
     permission org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.security.WrapperEventPermission "service, core";
     permission org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.security.WrapperEventPermission "*";
   };
 

Possible eventTypes include the following:

Permission Event Type Name What the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission
service Register to obtain events whenever the Wrapper service receives any service events. Malicious code could receive this event and never return and thus cause performance and timeout problems with the Wrapper. Normal use of these events are quite safe however.
control Register to obtain events whenever the Wrapper receives any system control signals. Malicious code could trap and consome control events, thus preventing an application from being shut down cleanly.
core Register to obtain events on the core workings of the Wrapper. Malicious code or even well meaning code can greatly affect the performance of the Wrapper simply by handling these methods slowly. Some of these events are fired from within the core timing code of the Wrapper. They are useful for testing and performance checks, but in general they should not be used by most applications.

    • implies

      public boolean implies(Permission p2)
      Checks if this WrapperEventPermission object "implies" the specified permission.

      More specifically, this method returns true if:

      • p2 is an instanceof FilePermission,
      • p2's eventTypes are a proper subset of this object's eventTypes, and
      • p2's service name is implied by this object's service name. For example, "MyApp*" implies "MyApp".
      Overrides:
      implies in class BasicPermission
      Parameters:
      p2 - the permission to check against.
      Returns:
      True if the specified permission is implied by this object.
