X500 Principal and X500 Private Credentials in a
Subject.
|
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| Destroyable |
Objects such as credentials may optionally implement this interface
to provide the capability to destroy its contents.
|
| DestroyFailedException |
Signals that a
destroy operation failed. |
| Subject |
A
Subject represents a grouping of related information
for a single entity, such as a person. |

| Policy |
Deprecated.
as of JDK version 1.4 -- Replaced by java.security.Policy.
java.security.Policy has a method:
public PermissionCollection getPermissions
(java.security.ProtectionDomain pd)
and ProtectionDomain has a constructor:
public ProtectionDomain
(CodeSource cs,
PermissionCollection permissions,
ClassLoader loader,
Principal[] principals)
These two APIs provide callers the means to query the
Policy for Principal-based Permission entries. |
| RefreshFailedException |
Signals that a
refresh operation failed. |
