Yes, i hadn't forgotten, but is it a bug or intentional.
The second one is a relative url, the first one isn't.
When we look at the javadocs for SharedActivationPolicyPermission the
policy string argument has the same semantics as FilePermission.
FilePermission has no URL, so SharedActivationPolicyPermission should
not be a URL.
Well, I might be a little rusty, but I think the javadoc(s) only state
that the
SharedActivationPolicyPermission follows the "file matching" semantics of
FilePermission. That is, the use of "*" and "-" in the path. I don't
think there
is an implication that the String argument needs to just be a filename.
In fact,
I don't think this was the intent as evidenced by 1) the comment in the
init()
method and 2) the fact that the SharedActivationPolicyPermission isn't "a"
FilePermission subtype. I'm also pretty sure this wasn't the original
author's
(not me) intent. [Maybe that person can chime to confirm/deny.]
Again, I think the FilePermission reference was only to leverage its
"matching"
semantics. There's probably a javadoc bug lurking because we're
discussing the
intent of the existing language.
I'm not sure what solution you are asking about, but hopefully the above
discussion helps. Let me know if you have any further questions/problems.
Regards,
Bob
Flawed reasoning? Either the testcases with URL were undetected bugs, or
the javadoc for SharedActivationPolicyPermission is a bug.
The URL stuff in init() is just enlisted to do some FileSeparator
conversion, if the javadoc is right.
Gr. Sim
P.S. Bob? Any change that little birdie you talked about will tell us
the solution?
