Class Permissions

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tools.ant.types.Permissions
public class Permissions extends Object
This class implements a security manager meant for usage by tasks that run inside the Ant VM. An examples are the Java Task and JUnitTask. The basic functionality is that nothing (except for a base set of permissions) is allowed, unless the permission is granted either explicitly or implicitly. If a permission is granted this can be overruled by explicitly revoking the permission. It is not permissible to add permissions (either granted or revoked) while the Security Manager is active (after calling setSecurityManager() but before calling restoreSecurityManager()).
Since:
Ant 1.6

    • setSecurityManager

      public void setSecurityManager() throws BuildException
      To be used by tasks wishing to use this security model before executing the part to be subject to these Permissions. Note that setting the SecurityManager too early may prevent your part from starting, as for instance changing classloaders may be prohibited. The classloader for the new situation is supposed to be present.
      Throws:
      BuildException - on error

    • restoreSecurityManager

      public void restoreSecurityManager()
      To be used by tasks that just finished executing the parts subject to these permissions.
