  32 /**
  33  * <p> The AccessController class is used for access control operations
  34  * and decisions.
  35  *
  36  * <p> More specifically, the AccessController class is used for
  37  * three purposes:
  38  *
  39  * <ul>
  40  * <li> to decide whether an access to a critical system
  41  * resource is to be allowed or denied, based on the security policy
  42  * currently in effect,
  43  * <li>to mark code as being "privileged", thus affecting subsequent
  44  * access determinations, and
  45  * <li>to obtain a "snapshot" of the current calling context so
  46  * access-control decisions from a different context can be made with
  47  * respect to the saved context. </ul>
  48  *
  49  * <p> The {@link #checkPermission(Permission) checkPermission} method
  50  * determines whether the access request indicated by a specified
  51  * permission should be granted or denied. A sample call appears
  52  * below. In this example, {@code checkPermission} will determine
  53  * whether or not to grant "read" access to the file named "testFile" in
  54  * the "/temp" directory.
  55  *
  56  * <pre>
  57  *
  58  * FilePermission perm = new FilePermission("/temp/testFile", "read");
  59  * AccessController.checkPermission(perm);
  60  *
  61  * </pre>
  62  *
  63  * <p> If a requested access is allowed,
  64  * {@code checkPermission} returns quietly. If denied, an
  65  * AccessControlException is
  66  * thrown. AccessControlException can also be thrown if the requested
  67  * permission is of an incorrect type or contains an invalid value.
  68  * Such information is given whenever possible.
  69  *
  70  * Suppose the current thread traversed m callers, in the order of caller 1
  71  * to caller 2 to caller m. Then caller m invoked the
  72  * {@code checkPermission} method.
  73  * The {@code checkPermission} method determines whether access
  74  * is granted or denied based on the following algorithm:
  75  *
  76  *  <pre> {@code
  77  * for (int i = m; i > 0; i--) {
  78  *
  79  *     if (caller i's domain does not have the permission)
  80  *         throw AccessControlException
  81  *
  82  *     else if (caller i is marked as privileged) {
  83  *         if (a context was specified in the call to doPrivileged)
  84  *             context.checkPermission(permission)
  85  *         if (limited permissions were specified in the call to doPrivileged) {
  86  *             for (each limited permission) {
  87  *                 if (the limited permission implies the requested permission)
  88  *                     return;
  89  *             }
  90  *         } else
  91  *             return;
  92  *     }
  93  * }
  94  *
  95  * // Next, check the context inherited when the thread was created.
  96  * // Whenever a new thread is created, the AccessControlContext at
  97  * // that time is stored and associated with the new thread, as the
  98  * // "inherited" context.
  99  *
 100  * inheritedContext.checkPermission(permission);
 101  * }</pre>
 102  *
 103  * <p> A caller can be marked as being "privileged"
 104  * (see {@link #doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction) doPrivileged} and below).
 105  * When making access control decisions, the {@code checkPermission}
 106  * method stops checking if it reaches a caller that
 107  * was marked as "privileged" via a {@code doPrivileged}
 108  * call without a context argument (see below for information about a
 109  * context argument). If that caller's domain has the
 110  * specified permission and at least one limiting permission argument (if any)
 111  * implies the requested permission, no further checking is done and
 112  * {@code checkPermission}
 113  * returns quietly, indicating that the requested access is allowed.
 114  * If that domain does not have the specified permission, an exception
 115  * is thrown, as usual. If the caller's domain had the specified permission
 116  * but it was not implied by any limiting permission arguments given in the call
 117  * to {@code doPrivileged} then the permission checking continues
 118  * until there are no more callers or another {@code doPrivileged}
 119  * call matches the requested permission and returns normally.
 120  *
 121  * <p> The normal use of the "privileged" feature is as follows. If you
 122  * don't need to return a value from within the "privileged" block, do
 123  * the following:
 124  *
 125  *  <pre> {@code
 126  * somemethod() {
 127  *     ...normal code here...
 128  *     AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction<Void>() {
 129  *         public Void run() {
 130  *             // privileged code goes here, for example:
 131  *             System.loadLibrary("awt");
 132  *             return null; // nothing to return
 133  *         }
 134  *     });
 135  *     ...normal code here...
 136  * }}</pre>
 137  *
 138  * <p>
 139  * PrivilegedAction is an interface with a single method, named
 140  * {@code run}.
 141  * The above example shows creation of an implementation
 142  * of that interface; a concrete implementation of the
 143  * {@code run} method is supplied.
 144  * When the call to {@code doPrivileged} is made, an
 145  * instance of the PrivilegedAction implementation is passed
 146  * to it. The {@code doPrivileged} method calls the
 147  * {@code run} method from the PrivilegedAction
 148  * implementation after enabling privileges, and returns the
 149  * {@code run} method's return value as the
 150  * {@code doPrivileged} return value (which is
 151  * ignored in this example).
 152  *
 153  * <p> If you need to return a value, you can do something like the following:
 154  *
 155  *  <pre> {@code
 156  * somemethod() {
 157  *     ...normal code here...
 158  *     String user = AccessController.doPrivileged(
 159  *         new PrivilegedAction<String>() {
 160  *         public String run() {
 161  *             return System.getProperty("user.name");
 162  *             }
 163  *         });
 164  *     ...normal code here...
 165  * }}</pre>
 166  *
 167  * <p>If the action performed in your {@code run} method could
 168  * throw a "checked" exception (those listed in the {@code throws} clause
 169  * of a method), then you need to use the
 170  * {@code PrivilegedExceptionAction} interface instead of the
 171  * {@code PrivilegedAction} interface:
 172  *
 173  *  <pre> {@code
 174  * somemethod() throws FileNotFoundException {
 175  *     ...normal code here...
 176  *     try {
 177  *         FileInputStream fis = AccessController.doPrivileged(
 178  *         new PrivilegedExceptionAction<FileInputStream>() {
 179  *             public FileInputStream run() throws FileNotFoundException {
 180  *                 return new FileInputStream("someFile");
 181  *             }
 182  *         });
 183  *     } catch (PrivilegedActionException e) {
 184  *         // e.getException() should be an instance of FileNotFoundException,
 185  *         // as only "checked" exceptions will be "wrapped" in a
 186  *         // PrivilegedActionException.
 187  *         throw (FileNotFoundException) e.getException();
 188  *     }
 189  *     ...normal code here...
 190  *  }}</pre>
 191  *
 192  * <p> Be *very* careful in your use of the "privileged" construct, and
 193  * always remember to make the privileged code section as small as possible.
 194  * You can pass {@code Permission} arguments to further limit the
 195  * scope of the "privilege" (see below).
 196  *
 197  *
 198  * <p> Note that {@code checkPermission} always performs security checks
 199  * within the context of the currently executing thread.
 200  * Sometimes a security check that should be made within a given context
 201  * will actually need to be done from within a
 202  * <i>different</i> context (for example, from within a worker thread).
 203  * The {@link #getContext() getContext} method and
 204  * AccessControlContext class are provided
 205  * for this situation. The {@code getContext} method takes a "snapshot"
 206  * of the current calling context, and places
 207  * it in an AccessControlContext object, which it returns. A sample call is
 208  * the following:
 209  *
 210  * <pre>
 211  *
 212  * AccessControlContext acc = AccessController.getContext()
 213  *
 214  * </pre>
 215  *
 216  * <p>
 217  * AccessControlContext itself has a {@code checkPermission} method
 218  * that makes access decisions based on the context <i>it</i> encapsulates,
 219  * rather than that of the current execution thread.
 220  * Code within a different context can thus call that method on the
 221  * previously-saved AccessControlContext object. A sample call is the
 222  * following:
 223  *
 224  * <pre>
 225  *
 226  * acc.checkPermission(permission)
 227  *
 228  * </pre>
 229  *
 230  * <p> There are also times where you don't know a priori which permissions
 231  * to check the context against. In these cases you can use the
 232  * doPrivileged method that takes a context. You can also limit the scope
 233  * of the privileged code by passing additional {@code Permission}
 234  * parameters.
 235  *
 236  *  <pre> {@code
 237  * somemethod() {
 238  *     AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction<Object>() {
 239  *         public Object run() {
 240  *             // Code goes here. Any permission checks within this
 241  *             // run method will require that the intersection of the
 242  *             // caller's protection domain and the snapshot's
 243  *             // context have the desired permission. If a requested
 244  *             // permission is not implied by the limiting FilePermission
 245  *             // argument then checking of the thread continues beyond the
 246  *             // caller of doPrivileged.
 247  *         }
 248  *     }, acc, new FilePermission("/temp/*", read));
 249  *     ...normal code here...
 250  * }}</pre>
 251  * <p> Passing a limiting {@code Permission} argument of an instance of
 252  * {@code AllPermission} is equivalent to calling the equivalent
 253  * {@code doPrivileged} method without limiting {@code Permission}
 254  * arguments. Passing a zero length array of {@code Permission} disables
 255  * the code privileges so that checking always continues beyond the caller of
 256  * that {@code doPrivileged} method.
