Name

BasicPermission

Synopsis

This Permission class is the abstract superclass for a number of simple permission types. BasicPermission is typically subclassed to implement named permissions that have a name, or target, string, but do not support actions. The implies( ) method of BasicPermission defines a simple wildcarding capability. The target “*” implies permission for any target. The target “x.*” implies permission for any target that begins with “x.”. Applications typically do not need to work directly with Permission objects.
