FilePermission

Class Overview

A permission for accessing a file or directory. The FilePermission is made up of a pathname and a set of actions which are valid for the pathname.

The File.separatorChar must be used in all pathnames when constructing a FilePermission. The following descriptions will assume the char is /. A pathname that ends in /* includes all the files and directories contained in that directory. If the pathname ends in /-, it includes all the files and directories in that directory recursively. The following pathnames have a special meaning:

• "*": all files in the current directory;
• "-": recursively all files and directories in the current directory;
• "<<ALL FILES>>": any file and directory in the file system.

From class java.security.Permission void checkGuard(Object obj) Invokes checkPermission(Permission) with this permission as its argument. abstract boolean equals(Object obj) Compares the specified object with this Permission for equality and returns true if the specified object is equal, false otherwise. abstract String getActions() Returns a comma separated string identifying the actions associated with this permission. final String getName() Returns the name of this permission. abstract int hashCode() Returns the hash code value for this Permission. abstract boolean implies(Permission permission) Indicates whether the specified permission is implied by this permission. PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection() Returns a specific PermissionCollection container for permissions of this type. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the this Permission including its name and its actions.
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object. boolean equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. void finalize() Called before the object's memory is reclaimed by the VM. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class. int hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object. final void notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. final void notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. final void wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires. final void wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
