31 * This class is for various network permissions.
32 * An SSLPermission contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but
33 * no actions list; you either have the named permission
34 * or you don't.
35 * <P>
36 * The target name is the name of the network permission (see below). The naming
37 * convention follows the hierarchical property naming convention.
38 * Also, an asterisk
39 * may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to
40 * signify a wildcard match. For example: "foo.*" and "*" signify a wildcard
41 * match, while "*foo" and "a*b" do not.
42 * <P>
43 * The following table lists all the possible SSLPermission target names,
44 * and for each provides a description of what the permission allows
45 * and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
