The AccessController class is used for access control operations * and decisions. * *
More specifically, the AccessController class is used for * three purposes: * *
*
*
The {@link #checkPermission(Permission) checkPermission} method
* determines whether the access request indicated by a specified
* permission should be granted or denied. A sample call appears
* below. In this example, checkPermission
will determine
* whether or not to grant "read" access to the file named "testFile" in
* the "/temp" directory.
*
*
* * FilePermission perm = new FilePermission("/temp/testFile", "read"); * AccessController.checkPermission(perm); * ** *
If a requested access is allowed,
* checkPermission
returns quietly. If denied, an
* AccessControlException is
* thrown. AccessControlException can also be thrown if the requested
* permission is of an incorrect type or contains an invalid value.
* Such information is given whenever possible.
*
* Suppose the current thread traversed m callers, in the order of caller 1
* to caller 2 to caller m. Then caller m invoked the
* checkPermission
method.
* The checkPermission
method determines whether access
* is granted or denied based on the following algorithm:
*
*
{@code * for (int i = m; i > 0; i--) { * * if (caller i's domain does not have the permission) * throw AccessControlException * * else if (caller i is marked as privileged) { * if (a context was specified in the call to doPrivileged) * context.checkPermission(permission) * return; * } * }; * * // Next, check the context inherited when the thread was created. * // Whenever a new thread is created, the AccessControlContext at * // that time is stored and associated with the new thread, as the * // "inherited" context. * * inheritedContext.checkPermission(permission); * }* *
A caller can be marked as being "privileged"
* (see {@link #doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction) doPrivileged} and below).
* When making access control decisions, the checkPermission
* method stops checking if it reaches a caller that
* was marked as "privileged" via a doPrivileged
* call without a context argument (see below for information about a
* context argument). If that caller's domain has the
* specified permission, no further checking is done and
* checkPermission
* returns quietly, indicating that the requested access is allowed.
* If that domain does not have the specified permission, an exception
* is thrown, as usual.
*
*
The normal use of the "privileged" feature is as follows. If you * don't need to return a value from within the "privileged" block, do * the following: * *
{@code * somemethod() { * ...normal code here... * AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction* *() { * public Void run() { * // privileged code goes here, for example: * System.loadLibrary("awt"); * return null; // nothing to return * } * }); * ...normal code here... * }}
* PrivilegedAction is an interface with a single method, named
* run
.
* The above example shows creation of an implementation
* of that interface; a concrete implementation of the
* run
method is supplied.
* When the call to doPrivileged
is made, an
* instance of the PrivilegedAction implementation is passed
* to it. The doPrivileged
method calls the
* run
method from the PrivilegedAction
* implementation after enabling privileges, and returns the
* run
method's return value as the
* doPrivileged
return value (which is
* ignored in this example).
*
*
If you need to return a value, you can do something like the following: * *
{@code * somemethod() { * ...normal code here... * String user = AccessController.doPrivileged( * new PrivilegedAction* *() { * public String run() { * return System.getProperty("user.name"); * } * }); * ...normal code here... * }}
If the action performed in your run
method could
* throw a "checked" exception (those listed in the throws
clause
* of a method), then you need to use the
* PrivilegedExceptionAction
interface instead of the
* PrivilegedAction
interface:
*
*
{@code * somemethod() throws FileNotFoundException { * ...normal code here... * try { * FileInputStream fis = AccessController.doPrivileged( * new PrivilegedExceptionAction* *() { * public FileInputStream run() throws FileNotFoundException { * return new FileInputStream("someFile"); * } * }); * } catch (PrivilegedActionException e) { * // e.getException() should be an instance of FileNotFoundException, * // as only "checked" exceptions will be "wrapped" in a * // PrivilegedActionException. * throw (FileNotFoundException) e.getException(); * } * ...normal code here... * }}
Be *very* careful in your use of the "privileged" construct, and * always remember to make the privileged code section as small as possible. * *
Note that checkPermission
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
* different context (for example, from within a worker thread).
* The {@link #getContext() getContext} method and
* AccessControlContext class are provided
* for this situation. The getContext
method takes a "snapshot"
* of the current calling context, and places
* it in an AccessControlContext object, which it returns. A sample call is
* the following:
*
*
* * AccessControlContext acc = AccessController.getContext() * ** *
* AccessControlContext itself has a checkPermission
method
* that makes access decisions based on the context it encapsulates,
* rather than that of the current execution thread.
* Code within a different context can thus call that method on the
* previously-saved AccessControlContext object. A sample call is the
* following:
*
*
* * acc.checkPermission(permission) * ** *
There are also times where you don't know a priori which permissions * to check the context against. In these cases you can use the * doPrivileged method that takes a context: * *
{@code * somemethod() { * AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction* * @see AccessControlContext * * @author Li Gong * @author Roland Schemers */ public final class AccessController { /** * Don't allow anyone to instantiate an AccessController */ private AccessController() { } /** * Performs the specified
PrivilegedAction
with privileges
* enabled. The action is performed with all of the permissions
* possessed by the caller's protection domain.
*
* If the action's run
method throws an (unchecked)
* exception, it will propagate through this method.
*
*
Note that any DomainCombiner associated with the current
* AccessControlContext will be ignored while the action is performed.
*
* @param action the action to be performed.

*
* @param action the action to be performed.
*
* @return the value returned by the action's
* If the action's {@code run} method throws an (unchecked) exception,

* was not created by system code and the caller's {@code ProtectionDomain}
* has not been granted the {@literal "createAccessControlContext"}
* {@link java.security.SecurityPermission}, then the action is performed

* @param context an access control context

*
