A bundle's authority to import or export a package.

A package is a dot-separated string that defines a fully qualified Java package.

For example:

org.osgi.service.http

PackagePermission has three actions: exportonly, import and export. The export action, which is deprecated, implies the import action.

Constructor Detail

PackagePermissionback to summary
public PackagePermission(String name, String actions)

Creates a new PackagePermission object.

The name is specified as a normal Java package name: a dot-separated string. Wildcards may be used.

name ::= <package name> | <package name ending in ".*"> | *
Examples:
org.osgi.service.http
javax.servlet.*
*
For the import action, the name can also be a filter expression. The filter gives access to the following attributes:
  • signer - A Distinguished Name chain used to sign the exporting bundle. Wildcards in a DN are not matched according to the filter string rules, but according to the rules defined for a DN chain.
  • location - The location of the exporting bundle.
  • id - The bundle ID of the exporting bundle.
  • name - The symbolic name of the exporting bundle.
  • package.name - The name of the requested package.
Filter attribute names are processed in a case sensitive manner.

Package Permissions are granted over all possible versions of a package. A bundle that needs to export a package must have the appropriate PackagePermission for that package; similarly, a bundle that needs to import a package must have the appropriate PackagePermssion for that package.

Permission is granted for both classes and resources.

Parameters
name:String

Package name or filter expression. A filter expression can only be specified if the specified action is import.

actions:String

exportonly,import (canonical order).

Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException:
If the specified name is a filter expression and either the specified action is not import or the filter has an invalid syntax.
PackagePermissionback to summary
public PackagePermission(String name, Bundle exportingBundle, String actions)

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

Parameters
name:String

The name of the requested package to import.

exportingBundle:Bundle

The bundle exporting the requested package.

actions:String

The action import.

Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException:
If the specified action is not import or the name is a filter expression.

Method Detail

equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides java.security.BasicPermission.equals.

Determines the equality of two PackagePermission objects. This method checks that specified package has the same package name and PackagePermission actions as this PackagePermission object.

Parameters
obj:Object

The object to test for equality with this PackagePermission object.

Returns:boolean

true if obj is a PackagePermission, and has the same package name and actions as this PackagePermission object; false otherwise.

getActionsback to summary
public String getActions()

Overrides java.security.BasicPermission.getActions.

Returns the canonical string representation of the PackagePermission actions.

Always returns present PackagePermission actions in the following order: EXPORTONLY,IMPORT.

Returns:String

Annotations
@Override
getPropertiesback to summary
private Map<String, Object> getProperties()

Called by PackagePermission#implies(Permission). This method is only called on a requested permission which cannot have a filter set.

Returns:Map<String, Object>

Returns the hash code value for this object.

Returns:int

Annotations
@Override
impliesback to summary
public boolean implies(Permission p)

Overrides java.security.BasicPermission.implies.

Determines if the specified permission is implied by this object.

This method checks that the package name of the target is implied by the package name of this object. The list of PackagePermission actions must either match or allow for the list of the target object to imply the target PackagePermission action.

The permission to export a package implies the permission to import the named package.

x.y.*,"export" -> x.y.z,"export" is true
*,"import" -> x.y, "import"      is true
*,"export" -> x.y, "import"      is true
x.y,"export" -> x.y.z, "export"  is false
Parameters
p:Permission

The requested permission.

Returns:boolean

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

Returns:boolean

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