  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.
