A Permission to perform actions related to MBeanServers. The name of the permission specifies the operation requested or granted by the permission. For a granted permission, it can be * to allow all of the MBeanServer operations specified below. Otherwise, for a granted or requested permission, it must be one of the following:

createMBeanServer

Create a new MBeanServer object using the method MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer() or MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer(java.lang.String).

findMBeanServer

Find an MBeanServer with a given name, or all MBeanServers in this JVM, using the method MBeanServerFactory.findMBeanServer(java.lang.String).

newMBeanServer

Create a new MBeanServer object without keeping a reference to it, using the method MBeanServerFactory.newMBeanServer() or MBeanServerFactory.newMBeanServer(java.lang.String).

releaseMBeanServer

Remove the MBeanServerFactory's reference to an MBeanServer, using the method MBeanServerFactory.releaseMBeanServer(javax.management.MBeanServer).

The name of the permission can also denote a list of one or more comma-separated operations. Spaces are allowed at the beginning and end of the name and before and after commas.

MBeanServerPermission("createMBeanServer") implies MBeanServerPermission("newMBeanServer").

public int hashCode()

---

implies

public boolean implies(Permission p)

Checks if this MBeanServerPermission object "implies" the specified permission.

More specifically, this method returns true if:

• p is an instance of MBeanServerPermission,

• p's target names are a subset of this object's target names

The createMBeanServer permission implies the newMBeanServer permission.

Parameters:

p - the permission to check against.

Returns:

true if the specified permission is implied by this object, false if not.

---

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Checks two MBeanServerPermission objects for equality. Checks that obj is an MBeanServerPermission, and represents the same list of allowable actions as this object.

Parameters:

obj - the object we are testing for equality with this object.

Returns:

true if the objects are equal.
