All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Guard
@Deprecated(since="25", forRemoval=true) public class MBeanServerPermission extends BasicPermission
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
This class was only useful in conjunction with the Security Manager, which is no longer supported. There is no replacement for this class.
A Permission to perform actions related to MBeanServers. The name of the permission specifies the operation requested or granted by the permission. For a granted permission, it can be * to allow all of the MBeanServer operations specified below. Otherwise, for a granted or requested permission, it must be one of the following:
createMBeanServer
Create a new MBeanServer object using the method MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer() or MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer(java.lang.String).
findMBeanServer
Find an MBeanServer with a given name, or all MBeanServers in this JVM, using the method MBeanServerFactory.findMBeanServer(String).
newMBeanServer
Create a new MBeanServer object without keeping a reference to it, using the method MBeanServerFactory.newMBeanServer() or MBeanServerFactory.newMBeanServer(java.lang.String).
releaseMBeanServer
Remove the MBeanServerFactory's reference to an MBeanServer, using the method MBeanServerFactory.releaseMBeanServer(MBeanServer).
The name of the permission can also denote a list of one or more comma-separated operations. Spaces are allowed at the beginning and end of the name and before and after commas.

MBeanServerPermission("createMBeanServer") implies MBeanServerPermission("newMBeanServer").

Method Details

implies

public boolean implies(Permission p)
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Checks if this MBeanServerPermission object "implies" the specified permission.

p - the permission to check against.
Returns:
true if the specified permission is implied by this object, false if not.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Checks two MBeanServerPermission objects for equality. Checks that obj is an MBeanServerPermission, and represents the same list of allowable actions as this object.
Overrides:
equals in class BasicPermission
Parameters:
obj - the object we are testing for equality with this object.
Returns:
true if the objects are equal.
