Class SubsystemPermission

java.lang.Object

java.security.Permission

java.security.BasicPermission

org.osgi.service.subsystem.SubsystemPermission

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.security.Guard

public final class SubsystemPermission
extends java.security.BasicPermission

A bundle's authority to perform specific privileged administrative operations on or to get sensitive information about a subsystem. The actions for this permission are:

 Action    Methods
 context   Subsystem.getBundleContext
 execute   Subsystem.start
           Subsystem.stop
 lifecycle Subsystem.install
           Subsystem.uninstall
 metadata  Subsystem.getHeaders
           Subsystem.getLocation
 

The name of this permission is a filter expression. The filter gives access to the following attributes:

• location - The location of a subsystem.
• id - The subsystem ID of the designated subsystem.
• name - The symbolic name of a subsystem.

Filter attribute names are processed in a case sensitive manner.

Constructor Detail

SubsystemPermission

public SubsystemPermission(java.lang.String filter,
                   java.lang.String actions)

Create a new SubsystemPermission. This constructor must only be used to create a permission that is going to be checked.

Examples:

 (name=com.acme.*)(location=http://www.acme.com/subsystems/*))
 (id>=1)
 

Parameters:

filter - A filter expression that can use, location, id, and name keys. Filter attribute names are processed in a case sensitive manner. A special value of "*" can be used to match all subsystems.

actions - execute, lifecycle, metadata, or context.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the filter has an invalid syntax.

SubsystemPermission

public SubsystemPermission(Subsystem subsystem,
                   java.lang.String actions)

Creates a new requested SubsystemPermission object to be used by the code that must perform checkPermission. SubsystemPermission objects created with this constructor cannot be added to an SubsystemPermission permission collection.

Parameters:

subsystem - A subsystem.

actions - execute, lifecycle, metadata, or context.

Method Detail

implies

public boolean implies(java.security.Permission p)

Determines if the specified permission is implied by this object. This method throws an exception if the specified permission was not constructed with a subsystem.

This method returns true if the specified permission is a SubsystemPermission AND

• this object's filter matches the specified permission's subsystem ID, subsystem symbolic name, and subsystem location OR
• this object's filter is "*"

AND this object's actions include all of the specified permission's actions.

Special case: if the specified permission was constructed with "*" filter, then this method returns true if this object's filter is "*" and this object's actions include all of the specified permission's actions

Overrides:

implies in class java.security.BasicPermission

Parameters:

p - The requested permission.

Returns:

true if the specified permission is implied by this object; false otherwise.

getActions

public java.lang.String getActions()

Returns the canonical string representation of the SubsystemPermission actions.

Always returns present SubsystemPermission actions in the following order: execute, lifecycle, metadata, context.

Overrides:

getActions in class java.security.BasicPermission

Returns:

Canonical string representation of the SubsystemPermission actions.

newPermissionCollection

public java.security.PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()

Returns a new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing SubsystemPermissions.

Overrides:

newPermissionCollection in class java.security.BasicPermission

Returns:

A new PermissionCollection object.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Determines the equality of two SubsystemPermission objects.

Overrides:

equals in class java.security.BasicPermission

Parameters:

obj - The object being compared for equality with this object.

Returns:

true if obj is equivalent to this SubsystemPermission; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.security.BasicPermission

Returns:

Hash code value for this object.
