public class MBeanPermission extends Permission
Permission controlling access to MBeanServer operations. If a
security manager has been set using System.setSecurityManager(java.lang.SecurityManager), most operations on the MBean Server
require that the caller's permissions imply an MBeanPermission
appropriate for the operation. This is described in detail in the
documentation for the MBeanServer interface.
As with other Permission objects, an MBeanPermission can
represent either a permission that you have or a
permission that you need. When a sensitive operation is
being checked for permission, an MBeanPermission is constructed
representing the permission you need. The operation is only
allowed if the permissions you have imply the
permission you need.
An MBeanPermission contains four items of information:
The action. For a permission you need,
this is one of the actions in the list below. For a permission you have, this is
a comma-separated list of those actions, or *,
representing all actions.
The action is returned by getActions().
The class name.
For a permission you need, this is the class name of an MBean
you are accessing, as returned by MBeanServer.getMBeanInfo(name).getClassName(). Certain operations do not reference a class name,
in which case the class name is null.
For a permission you have, this is either empty or a class
name pattern. A class name pattern is a string following the
Java conventions for dot-separated class names. It may end with
".*" meaning that the permission grants access to any
class that begins with the string preceding ".*". For
instance, "javax.management.*" grants access to
javax.management.MBeanServerDelegate and
javax.management.timer.Timer, among other classes.
A class name pattern can also be empty or the single character
"*", both of which grant access to any class.
The member.
For a permission you need, this is the name of the attribute or operation you are accessing. For operations that do not reference an attribute or operation, the member is null.
For a permission you have, this is either the name of an attribute
or operation you can access, or it is empty or the single character
"*", both of which grant access to any member.
The object name.
For a permission you need, this is the ObjectName of the
MBean you are accessing. For operations that do not reference a
single MBean, it is null. It is never an object name pattern.
For a permission you have, this is the ObjectName of the
MBean or MBeans you can access. It may be an object name pattern
to grant access to all MBeans whose names match the pattern. It
may also be empty, which grants access to all MBeans whatever their
name.
If you have an MBeanPermission, it allows operations only if all four of the items match.
The class name, member, and object name can be written together
as a single string, which is the name of this permission.
The name of the permission is the string returned by getName(). The format of the string is:
className#member[objectName]
The object name is written using the usual syntax for ObjectName. It may contain any legal characters, including
]. It is terminated by a ] character
that is the last character in the string.
One or more of the className, member,
or objectName may be omitted. If the
member is omitted, the # may be too (but
does not have to be). If the objectName is omitted,
the [] may be too (but does not have to be). It is
not legal to omit all three items, that is to have a name
that is the empty string.
One or more of the className, member,
or objectName may be the character "-",
which is equivalent to a null value. A null value is implied by
any value (including another null value) but does not imply any
other value.
The possible actions are these:
In a comma-separated list of actions, spaces are allowed before and after each action.

Returns the "canonical string representation" of the actions.

checkGuard, getName, newPermissionCollection, toStringpublic MBeanPermission(String name, String actions)
Create a new MBeanPermission object with the specified target name and actions.
The target name is of the form
"className#member[objectName]" where each part is
optional. It must not be empty or null.
The actions parameter contains a comma-separated list of the desired actions granted on the target name. It must not be empty or null.
name - the triplet "className#member[objectName]".actions - the action string.IllegalArgumentException - if the name or
actions is invalid.public MBeanPermission(String className, String member, ObjectName objectName, String actions)
Create a new MBeanPermission object with the specified target name (class name, member, object name) and actions.
The class name, member and object name parameters define a
target name of the form
"className#member[objectName]" where each part is
optional. This will be the result of Permission.getName() on the
resultant MBeanPermission.
The actions parameter contains a comma-separated list of the desired actions granted on the target name. It must not be empty or null.

Checks if this MBeanPermission object "implies" the specified permission.
More specifically, this method returns true if:
If this object's className is "*", p's
className always matches it. If it is "a.*", p's
className matches it if it begins with "a.".
If this object's member is "*", p's
member always matches it.
If this object's objectName n1 is an object name pattern,
p's objectName n2 matches it if
n1.equals(n2) or if
n1.apply(n2).
A permission that includes the queryMBeans action
is considered to include queryNames as well.
