Java Security

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 $JDKHOME/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.
