/**
 * The security manager is a class that allows
 * applications to implement a security policy. It allows an
 * application to determine, before performing a possibly unsafe or
 * sensitive operation, what the operation is and whether
 * it is being attempted in a security context that allows the
 * operation to be performed. The
 * application can allow or disallow the operation.
 * <p>
 * The <code>SecurityManager</code> class contains many methods with
 * names that begin with the word <code>check</code>. These methods
 * are called by various methods in the Java libraries before those
 * methods perform certain potentially sensitive operations. The
 * invocation of such a <code>check</code> method typically looks like this:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();
 *     if (security != null) {
 *         security.check<i>XXX</i>(argument, &nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;);
 *     }
 * </pre></blockquote>
 * <p>
 * The security manager is thereby given an opportunity to prevent
 * completion of the operation by throwing an exception. A security
 * manager routine simply returns if the operation is permitted, but
 * throws a <code>SecurityException</code> if the operation is not
 * permitted. The only exception to this convention is
 * <code>checkTopLevelWindow</code>, which returns a
 * <code>boolean</code> value.
 * <p>
 * The current security manager is set by the
 * <code>setSecurityManager</code> method in class
 * <code>System</code>. The current security manager is obtained
 * by the <code>getSecurityManager</code> method.
 * <p>
 * The special method
 * {@link SecurityManager#checkPermission(java.security.Permission)}
 * determines whether an access request indicated by a specified
 * permission should be granted or denied. The
 * default implementation calls
 *
 * <pre>
 *   AccessController.checkPermission(perm);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * If a requested access is allowed,
 * <code>checkPermission</code> returns quietly. If denied, a
 * <code>SecurityException</code> is thrown.
 * <p>
 * As of Java 2 SDK v1.2, the default implementation of each of the other
 * <code>check</code> methods in <code>SecurityManager</code> is to
 * call the <code>SecurityManager checkPermission</code> method
 * to determine if the calling thread has permission to perform the requested
 * operation.
 * <p>
 * Note that the <code>checkPermission</code> method with
 * just a single permission argument always performs security checks
 * within the context of the currently executing thread.
 * Sometimes a security check that should be made within a given context
 * will actually need to be done from within a
 * <i>different</i> context (for example, from within a worker thread).
 * The {@link SecurityManager#getSecurityContext getSecurityContext} method
 * and the {@link SecurityManager#checkPermission(java.security.Permission,
 * java.lang.Object) checkPermission}
 * method that includes a context argument are provided
 * for this situation. The
 * <code>getSecurityContext</code> method returns a "snapshot"
 * of the current calling context. (The default implementation
 * returns an AccessControlContext object.) A sample call is
 * the following:
 *
 * <pre>
 *   Object context = null;
 *   SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
 *   if (sm != null) context = sm.getSecurityContext();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * The <code>checkPermission</code> method
 * that takes a context object in addition to a permission
 * makes access decisions based on that context,
 * rather than on that of the current execution thread.
 * Code within a different context can thus call that method,
 * passing the permission and the
 * previously-saved context object. A sample call, using the
 * SecurityManager <code>sm</code> obtained as in the previous example,
 * is the following:
 *
 * <pre>
 *   if (sm != null) sm.checkPermission(permission, context);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Permissions fall into these categories: File, Socket, Net,
 * Security, Runtime, Property, AWT, Reflect, and Serializable.
 * The classes managing these various
 * permission categories are <code>java.io.FilePermission</code>,
 * <code>java.net.SocketPermission</code>,
 * <code>java.net.NetPermission</code>,
 * <code>java.security.SecurityPermission</code>,
 * <code>java.lang.RuntimePermission</code>,
 * <code>java.util.PropertyPermission</code>,
 * <code>java.awt.AWTPermission</code>,
 * <code>java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission</code>, and
 * <code>java.io.SerializablePermission</code>.
 *
 * <p>All but the first two (FilePermission and SocketPermission) are
 * subclasses of <code>java.security.BasicPermission</code>, which itself
 * is an abstract subclass of the
 * top-level class for permissions, which is
 * <code>java.security.Permission</code>. BasicPermission defines the
 * functionality needed for all permissions that contain a name
 * that follows the hierarchical property naming convention
 * (for example, "exitVM", "setFactory", "queuePrintJob", etc).
 * An asterisk
 * may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to
 * signify a wildcard match. For example: "a.*" or "*" is valid,
 * "*a" or "a*b" is not valid.
 *
 * <p>FilePermission and SocketPermission are subclasses of the
 * top-level class for permissions
 * (<code>java.security.Permission</code>). Classes like these
 * that have a more complicated name syntax than that used by
 * BasicPermission subclass directly from Permission rather than from
 * BasicPermission. For example,
 * for a <code>java.io.FilePermission</code> object, the permission name is
 * the path name of a file (or directory).
 *
 * <p>Some of the permission classes have an "actions" list that tells
 * the actions that are permitted for the object.  For example,
 * for a <code>java.io.FilePermission</code> object, the actions list
 * (such as "read, write") specifies which actions are granted for the
 * specified file (or for files in the specified directory).
 *
 * <p>Other permission classes are for "named" permissions -
 * ones that contain a name but no actions list; you either have the
 * named permission or you don't.
 *
 * <p>Note: There is also a <code>java.security.AllPermission</code>
 * permission that implies all permissions. It exists to simplify the work
 * of system administrators who might need to perform multiple
 * tasks that require all (or numerous) permissions.
 * <p>
 * See <a href ="../../../technotes/guides/security/permissions.html">
 * Permissions in the JDK</a> for permission-related information.
 * This document includes, for example, a table listing the various SecurityManager
 * <code>check</code> methods and the permission(s) the default
 * implementation of each such method requires.
 * It also contains a table of all the version 1.2 methods
 * that require permissions, and for each such method tells
 * which permission it requires.
 * <p>
 * For more information about <code>SecurityManager</code> changes made in
 * the JDK and advice regarding porting of 1.1-style security managers,
 * see the <a href="../../../technotes/guides/security/index.html">security documentation</a>.
