com.oracle.deviceaccess.counter.CounterPermission

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.security.Guard

public class CounterPermission
extends PeripheralPermission

The CounterPermission class defines permissions for pulse counter access.

A CounterPermission permission has a target name and a list of actions.

The target name contains hardware addressing information. The format is the one defined for the base PeripheralPermission class with the following addition:

{channel-spec}

The {channel-spec} string (described in PeripheralPermission) is the decimal string representation of a channel number as may be returned by a call to PulseCounterConfig.getChannelNumber(). The characters in the string must all be decimal digits.

The supported actions are open and powermanage. Their meaning is defined as follows:

open

open and access a pulse counter functions (see PeripheralManager.open)

powermanage

manage the power saving mode of a peripheral device (see PowerManaged)

Constructor Detail

CounterPermission

public CounterPermission(java.lang.String name)

Constructs a new CounterPermission with the specified target name and the implicit open action.

Parameters:

name - the target name (as defined above).

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if name is null.

See Also:

Permission.getName()

CounterPermission

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

Constructs a new CounterPermission instance with the specified target name and action list.

Parameters:

name - the target name (as defined above).

actions - comma-separated list of peripheral operations: open or powermanage.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if name is null.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if name is empty or if actions is null, empty or contains an action other than the specified possible actions.

See Also:

Permission.getName()

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Checks two CounterPermission objects for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class PeripheralPermission

Parameters:

obj - the object to test for equality with this object.

Returns:

true if obj is a CounterPermission and has the same target name and actions as this CounterPermission object.

getActions

public java.lang.String getActions()

Returns the list of possible actions in the following order: open or powermanage.

Overrides:

getActions in class PeripheralPermission

Returns:

comma-separated list of possible actions.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class PeripheralPermission

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

implies

public boolean implies(java.security.Permission permission)

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

More specifically, this method returns true if:

• permission is an instance of CounterPermission, and
• permission's actions are a proper subset of this object's action list, and
• permission's peripheral ID, name, hardware addressing information or range thereof is included in this peripheral ID, name or hardware addressing information range, whichever is defined.

Overrides:

implies in class PeripheralPermission

Parameters:

permission - the permission to check against.

Returns:

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

newPermissionCollection

public java.security.PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()

Returns a new PermissionCollection for storing CounterPermission objects.

CounterPermission objects must be stored in a manner that allows them to be inserted into the collection in any order, but that also enables the PermissionCollection implies method to be implemented in an efficient (and consistent) manner.

If null is returned, then the caller of this method is free to store permissions of this type in any PermissionCollection they choose (one that uses a Hashtable, one that uses a Vector, etc).

Overrides:

newPermissionCollection in class PeripheralPermission

Returns:

a new PermissionCollection suitable for storing CounterPermission objects, or null if one is not defined.
