00059  * Revision 1.3  2004/01/29 11:48:46  cargilld
00060  * Code cleanup changes to get rid of various compiler diagnostic messages.
00061  *
00062  * Revision 1.2  2003/04/22 12:53:38  neilg
00063  * change const static member to an enum to make MSVC happy
00064  *
00065  * change ENTITY_EXPANSION_LIMIT from a static const data member to an enum
00066  * 
00067  * Revision 1.1  2003/04/17 21:58:49  neilg
00068  * Adding a new property,
00069  * http://apache.org/xml/properties/security-manager, with
00070  * appropriate getSecurityManager/setSecurityManager methods on DOM
00071  * and SAX parsers.  Also adding a new SecurityManager class.
00072  *
00073  * The purpose of these modifications is to permit applications a
00074  * means to have the parser reject documents whose processing would
00075  * otherwise consume large amounts of system resources.  Malicious
00076  * use of such documents could be used to launch a denial-of-service
00077  * attack against a system running the parser.  Initially, the
00078  * SecurityManager only knows about attacks that can result from
00079  * exponential entity expansion; this is the only known attack that
00080  * involves processing a single XML document.  Other, simlar attacks
00081  * can be launched if arbitrary schemas may be parsed; there already
00082  * exist means (via use of the EntityResolver interface) by which
00083  * applications can deny processing of untrusted schemas.  In future,
00084  * the SecurityManager will be expanded to take these other exploits
00085  * into account.

00087  * Initial checkin of SecurityManager
