The AccessController class is used for access control operations * and decisions. * *

More specifically, the AccessController class is used for * three purposes: * *

* *

The {@link #checkPermission(Permission) checkPermission} method * determines whether the access request indicated by a specified * permission should be granted or denied. A sample call appears * below. In this example, checkPermission will determine * whether or not to grant "read" access to the file named "testFile" in * the "/temp" directory. * *

 *
 * FilePermission perm = new FilePermission("/temp/testFile", "read");
 * AccessController.checkPermission(perm);
 *
 * 
* *

If a requested access is allowed, * checkPermission returns quietly. If denied, an * AccessControlException is * thrown. AccessControlException can also be thrown if the requested * permission is of an incorrect type or contains an invalid value. * Such information is given whenever possible. * * Suppose the current thread traversed m callers, in the order of caller 1 * to caller 2 to caller m. Then caller m invoked the * checkPermission method. * The checkPermission method determines whether access * is granted or denied based on the following algorithm: * *

 {@code
 * for (int i = m; i > 0; i--) {
 *
 *     if (caller i's domain does not have the permission)
 *         throw AccessControlException
 *
 *     else if (caller i is marked as privileged) {
 *         if (a context was specified in the call to doPrivileged)
 *             context.checkPermission(permission)
 *         return;
 *     }
 * };
 *
 * // Next, check the context inherited when the thread was created.
 * // Whenever a new thread is created, the AccessControlContext at
 * // that time is stored and associated with the new thread, as the
 * // "inherited" context.
 *
 * inheritedContext.checkPermission(permission);
 * }
* *

A caller can be marked as being "privileged" * (see {@link #doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction) doPrivileged} and below). * When making access control decisions, the checkPermission * method stops checking if it reaches a caller that * was marked as "privileged" via a doPrivileged * call without a context argument (see below for information about a * context argument). If that caller's domain has the * specified permission, no further checking is done and * checkPermission * returns quietly, indicating that the requested access is allowed. * If that domain does not have the specified permission, an exception * is thrown, as usual. * *

The normal use of the "privileged" feature is as follows. If you * don't need to return a value from within the "privileged" block, do * the following: * *

 {@code
 * somemethod() {
 *     ...normal code here...
 *     AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
 *         public Void run() {
 *             // privileged code goes here, for example:
 *             System.loadLibrary("awt");
 *             return null; // nothing to return
 *         }
 *     });
 *     ...normal code here...
 * }}
* *

* PrivilegedAction is an interface with a single method, named * run. * The above example shows creation of an implementation * of that interface; a concrete implementation of the * run method is supplied. * When the call to doPrivileged is made, an * instance of the PrivilegedAction implementation is passed * to it. The doPrivileged method calls the * run method from the PrivilegedAction * implementation after enabling privileges, and returns the * run method's return value as the * doPrivileged return value (which is * ignored in this example). * *

If you need to return a value, you can do something like the following: * *

 {@code
 * somemethod() {
 *     ...normal code here...
 *     String user = AccessController.doPrivileged(
 *         new PrivilegedAction() {
 *         public String run() {
 *             return System.getProperty("user.name");
 *             }
 *         });
 *     ...normal code here...
 * }}
* *

If the action performed in your run method could * throw a "checked" exception (those listed in the throws clause * of a method), then you need to use the * PrivilegedExceptionAction interface instead of the * PrivilegedAction interface: * *

 {@code
 * somemethod() throws FileNotFoundException {
 *     ...normal code here...
 *     try {
 *         FileInputStream fis = AccessController.doPrivileged(
 *         new PrivilegedExceptionAction() {
 *             public FileInputStream run() throws FileNotFoundException {
 *                 return new FileInputStream("someFile");
 *             }
 *         });
 *     } catch (PrivilegedActionException e) {
 *         // e.getException() should be an instance of FileNotFoundException,
 *         // as only "checked" exceptions will be "wrapped" in a
 *         // PrivilegedActionException.
 *         throw (FileNotFoundException) e.getException();
 *     }
 *     ...normal code here...
 *  }}
* *

Be *very* careful in your use of the "privileged" construct, and * always remember to make the privileged code section as small as possible. * *

Note that checkPermission always performs security checks * within the context of the currently executing thread. * Sometimes a security check that should be made within a given context * will actually need to be done from within a * different context (for example, from within a worker thread). * The {@link #getContext() getContext} method and * AccessControlContext class are provided * for this situation. The getContext method takes a "snapshot" * of the current calling context, and places * it in an AccessControlContext object, which it returns. A sample call is * the following: * *

 *
 * AccessControlContext acc = AccessController.getContext()
 *
 * 
* *

* AccessControlContext itself has a checkPermission method * that makes access decisions based on the context it encapsulates, * rather than that of the current execution thread. * Code within a different context can thus call that method on the * previously-saved AccessControlContext object. A sample call is the * following: * *

 *
 * acc.checkPermission(permission)
 *
 * 
* *

There are also times where you don't know a priori which permissions * to check the context against. In these cases you can use the * doPrivileged method that takes a context: * *

 {@code
 * somemethod() {
 *     AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
 *         public Object run() {
 *             // Code goes here. Any permission checks within this
 *             // run method will require that the intersection of the
 *             // callers protection domain and the snapshot's
 *             // context have the desired permission.
 *         }
 *     }, acc);
 *     ...normal code here...
 * }}
