Interface ServiceCodebaseAccessor

public interface ServiceCodebaseAccessor

After authenticating a bootstrap token proxy, the ProxyPreparer can dynamically grant DownloadPermission and DeSerializationPermission as required using the information provided, to allow downloading of a smart proxy. To make a ProtectionDomain or CodeSource based grant requires a RevocablePolicy.grant(PermissionGrant) A service needn't implement this if a proxy doesn't require a codebase download. Certificates et al are sent in encoded format. The choice was made not to Serialize Certificate or CodeSigner in case the CertificateFactory provider isn't installed.

RevocablePolicy, PermissionGrant

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getCertFactoryType() Get the CertificateFactory type.
String	getCertPathEncoding() Get the CertPath encoding;
String	getClassAnnotation() Obtains the service class annotation as defined in ClassLoading.getClassAnnotation(Class).
byte[]	getEncodedCerts() The byte array can be passed to a ByteArrayInputStream, which can be passed to a CertificateFactory to generate a Collection of Certificates, or CertPath.
