Class ProtectionDomain

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--java.security.ProtectionDomain
public class ProtectionDomain
extends Object

This ProtectionDomain class encapulates the characteristics of a domain, which encloses a set of classes whose instances are granted the same set of permissions.

In addition to a set of permissions, a domain is comprised of a CodeSource, which is a set of PublicKeys together with a codebase (in the form of a URL). Thus, classes signed by the same keys and from the same URL are placed in the same domain. Classes that have the same permissions but are from different code sources belong to different domains.

A class belongs to one and only one ProtectionDomain.

Constructor Summary
ProtectionDomain(CodeSource codesource, PermissionCollection permissions)
          Creates a new ProtectionDomain with the given CodeSource and Permissions.
 
Method Summary
 CodeSource getCodeSource()
          Returns the CodeSource of this domain.
 PermissionCollection getPermissions()
          Returns the permissions of this domain.
 boolean implies(Permission permission)
          Check and see if this ProtectionDomain implies the permissions expressed in the Permission object.
 String toString()
          Convert a ProtectionDomain to a String.
