All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

final class FilePermissionCollection

extends PermissionCollection

implements Serializable

A FilePermissionCollection stores a set of FilePermission permissions. FilePermission objects must be stored in a manner that allows them to be inserted in any order, but enable the implies function to evaluate the implies method. For example, if you have two FilePermissions:

1. "/tmp/-", "read"
2. "/tmp/scratch/foo", "write"

And you are calling the implies function with the FilePermission: "/tmp/scratch/foo", "read,write", then the implies function must take into account both the /tmp/- and /tmp/scratch/foo permissions, so the effective permission is "read,write".
