Class DiscoveryPermission

java.lang.Object

java.security.Permission

net.jini.discovery.DiscoveryPermission

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Guard

public final class DiscoveryPermission
extends Permission
implements Serializable

Permission for using LookupDiscovery. The permission contains a name but no actions list. The name is a discovery group name. The empty string represents the "public" group (as usual). The name "*" represents all groups. The name can start with "*." to signify a prefix wildcard match; in this case, group names are assumed to be in dotted domain name style (e.g., "*.sun.com").

Note that, due to limitations of the Java(TM) platform security model, permission must be granted not only to the code that calls LookupDiscovery, but also to LookupDiscovery itself.
