org.apache.river.api.security

Packages that use org.apache.river.api.security

Package	Description
net.jini.security	Provides mechanisms and abstractions for managing security, especially in the presence of dynamically downloaded code.
net.jini.security.policy	Provides an interface for security policy providers capable of dynamic permission grants, an interface for security manager or policy providers that use custom security context state, and a security policy provider supporting dynamic permission grants.
org.apache.river.api.security	This package contains a scalable cache based security manager that parallelises domain security checks.

Classes in org.apache.river.api.security used by net.jini.security

Class and Description
PermissionGrant PermissionGrant implementations are expected to be immutable, non blocking, thread safe and have a good hashCode implementation to perform well in Collections.

AbstractPolicy A common superclass with utility methods for policy providers.

RevocablePolicy RevocablePolicy, is a Java Security Policy Provider that supports Runtime Dynamic addition and removal of PermissionGrant's Warning: Not all Permission's are truly revocable, while any Permission can be dynamically added and later removed from this policy, many JVM Permission implementations are used in ways that allow references to escape To quote Tim Blackman, from river-dev: I remember talking with Bob and Mike Warres about this.
ScalableNestedPolicy Policy providers can implement this interface to provide nested policies a common interface to allow delayed creation of PermissionCollection instances until all after all Permission objects are collected, allowing the implementer to add Permission objects to a PermissionCollection in an order that avoids unnecessary reverse DNS calls for example.

Class and Description
AbstractPolicy A common superclass with utility methods for policy providers.
CachingSecurityManager A CachingSecurityManager caches the result of check permission calls for AccessControlContexts.
CombinerSecurityManager CombinerSecurityManager, is intended to be a highly scalable SecurityManager implementation that caches the results of security checks for each context, which may be an instance of SecurityContext or AccessControlContext.
PermissionGrant PermissionGrant implementations are expected to be immutable, non blocking, thread safe and have a good hashCode implementation to perform well in Collections.
PermissionGrantBuilder The PermissionGrantBuilder creates Dynamic PermissionGrant's based on information provided by the user.
PolicyParser Parser of policy syntax.
RemotePolicy RemotePolicy is a service api that can be implemented by a distributed Policy service, allowing local Policy providers to be updated remotely by a djinn group administrator.
