-----------------------------------
Summary: Use Java 9 modules to protect LegacyJava
Key: JDO-816
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-816
Project: JDO
Issue Type: Bug
Components: api
Affects Versions: JDO 3.2.1
Reporter: Tilmann Zäschke
Fix For: JDO 3.3
Use Java 9 modules to simplify code and improve JDO security.
The deprecation of the Java securityManager in Java 18 was handled in
[JDO-808|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-808] by adding a class
LegacyJava as well as numerous doPrivileged() in the JDO API.
Using Java 9 modules we could:
- remove the code duplication
- better protect the LegacyJava class (it should be safe, but it is a manually
implemented security feature, which is never good)
Alternative / Reason why we might no to it:
- The rationale for removing the SecurityManager is that it does not protect
against a real world attach vector. Using this argument we could simply remove
LegacyJava and all associated classes and code.
