Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class java.security.Policy

Synopsis

The Policy class encapsulates all the specific permissions that the virtual machine knows about. This set of permissions is by default read from a series of URLs specified by policy.url properties in the $HOME/lib/security/java.security file, although applications may specify their own policy objects by using the setPolicy( ) method of this class. Alternately, a different default implementation of the policy class may be specified by changing the policy.provider property in the java.security file.
