By default, permissions cannot be defined to support actions using BasicPermission
but the actions can be freely implemented in the subclass if required. BasicPermission
is abstract
even though it contains no abstract
methods; it defines all the methods that it extends from the Permission
class. The custom defined subclass of the BasicPermission
class has to define two constructors to call the most appropriate (one- or two-argument) superclass constructor (the superclass lacks a default constructor). The two-argument constructor also accepts an action even though a basic permission does not use it. This is required for constructing permission objects from the policy file. Note that the custom defined subclass of the BasicPermission
class is declared to be final
in accordance with SEC02SEC07-J. Create a secure sandbox using a Security ManagerClasses that derive from a sensitive class or implement a sensitive interface should be declared to be final.
The compliant solution then uses a security manager to check whether the caller has the requisite permission to set the handler. The code throws a SecurityException
if the check fails. The custom permission class ExceptionReporterPermission
is also defined with the two required constructors.
