java.lang.Object
  java.security.Permission
      java.security.BasicPermission
          org.osgi.framework.ServicePermission

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.security.Guard

public final class ServicePermission
extends java.security.BasicPermission

Indicates a bundle's authority to register or get a service.

• The ServicePermission.REGISTER action allows a bundle to register a service on the specified names.
• The ServicePermission.GET action allows a bundle to detect a service and get it.

Permission to get a service is required in order to detect events regarding the service. Untrusted bundles should not be able to detect the presence of certain services unless they have the appropriate ServicePermission to get the specific service.

Constructor Detail

ServicePermission

public ServicePermission(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.String actions)

Create a new ServicePermission.

The name of the service is specified as a fully qualified class name.

      ClassName ::= <class name> | <class name ending in ".*">
 

Examples:

         org.osgi.service.http.HttpService
         org.osgi.service.http.*
         org.osgi.service.snmp.*
 

There are two possible actions: get and register. The get permission allows the owner of this permission to obtain a service with this name. The register permission allows the bundle to register a service under that name.

Parameters:

name - class name

actions - get, register (canonical order)

Method Detail

implies

public boolean implies(java.security.Permission p)

Determines if a ServicePermission object "implies" the specified permission.

true if the specified permission is implied by this object; false otherwise.

getActions

public java.lang.String getActions()

Returns the canonical string representation of the actions. Always returns present actions in the following order: get, register.

Overrides:

getActions in class java.security.BasicPermission

Returns:

The canonical string representation of the actions.

newPermissionCollection

public java.security.PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()

Returns a new PermissionCollection object for storing ServicePermission objects.

Overrides:

newPermissionCollection in class java.security.BasicPermission

Returns:

A new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing ServicePermission objects.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Determines the equalty of two ServicePermission objects. Checks that specified object has the same class name and action as this ServicePermission.

Overrides:

equals in class java.security.BasicPermission

Parameters:

obj - The object to test for equality.

Returns:

true if obj is a ServicePermission, and has the same class name and actions as this ServicePermission object; false otherwise.
