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