All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.security.Guard

public class TimePermission
extends RealtimePermission

Time permissions are for controlling clocks and timers. The following table describes the actions to check. For all but create, which takes no target, either the permission is limited to the current ThreadGroup by specifying the target group, or it can apply to all with no target or the target *.

Action Name	Description	Risks of grant
control	Enables controlling the activity of a timer	Scheduling Risk
create	Enables new timers to be created	Scheduling Risk
handle	Adds handler to a timer	Load Risk
override	Change existing handlers	Interference Risk
system	Changes system wide timer and clock behavior	Load and Scheduling Risk

The risk classes are defined in RealtimePermission.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Description copied from class: RealtimePermission

Compare two Permission objects for equality.

Specified by:

equals in class RealtimePermission

Parameters:

other - is the object with which to compare.

Returns:

true when yes and false otherwise.

getActions

Description copied from class: RealtimePermission

Obtain the actions as a String in canonical form.

Specified by:

getActions in class RealtimePermission

Returns:

the actions represented as a string.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: RealtimePermission

Obtain the hash code value for this object.

Specified by:

hashCode in class RealtimePermission

Returns:

the hash code value.

implies

public boolean implies(java.security.Permission permission)

Description copied from class: RealtimePermission

Checks if the given permission's actions are "implied by" this object's actions. This method is used by the AccessController to determine whether or not a requested permission is implied by another permission that is known to be valid in the current execution context.
