All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Guard

public class MercuryPermission
extends AccessPermission

Represents permissions that can be used to express the access control policy for the Mercury server exported with a BasicJeriExporter. This class can be passed to BasicInvocationDispatcher, and then used in security policy permission grants.

An instance contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't. The convention is that the target name is the non-qualified name of the remote method being invoked. Wildcard matches are supported using the syntax specified by AccessPermission.

The possible target names for use with a Mercury server are specified in the package documentation for com.sun.jini.mercury.
