## org.apache.tools.ant.types
Class Permissions

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--org.apache.tools.ant.types.Permissions

public class Permissions
extends java.lang.Object

This class implements a security manager meant for useage 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 an 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

Nested Class Summary
`static class` | `Permissions.Permission` Represents a permission.

Constructor Summary
`Permissions()` default constructor
`Permissions(boolean delegateToOldSM)` create a new set of permissions

Method Summary
`void` | `addConfiguredGrant(Permissions.Permission perm)` Adds a permission to be granted.
`void` | `addConfiguredRevoke(Permissions.Permission perm)` Adds a permission to be revoked.
`void` | `restoreSecurityManager()` To be used by tasks that just finished executing the parts subject to these permissions.
`void` | `setSecurityManager()` To be used by tasks wishing to use this security model before executing the part to be subject to these Permissions.

Constructor Detail

### Permissions

    public Permissions()

  default constructor

### Permissions

    public Permissions(boolean delegateToOldSM)

  create a new set of permissions

Parameters:
  `delegateToOldSM` - if `true` the old security manager will be used if the permission has not been explicitly granted or revoked in this instance if false, it behaves like the default constructor

Method Detail

### addConfiguredGrant

    public void addConfiguredGrant(Permissions.Permission perm)

  Adds a permission to be granted.

  Parameters:
    `perm` - The Permissions.Permission to be granted.

### addConfiguredRevoke

    public void addConfiguredRevoke(Permissions.Permission perm)

  Adds a permission to be revoked.

  Parameters:
    `perm` - The Permissions.Permission to be revoked

### 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.

    `BuildException`

### restoreSecurityManager

    public void restoreSecurityManager()

  To be used by tasks that just finished executing the parts subject to these permissions.
