From PermissionCollection to Policy

[Andrew Thompson]

In attempts to create security environments for applet testing,
I have come up with a (java.security.)PermissionCollection that
represents a typical sandbox.

Unfortunately I can see no easy way to turn a PermissionCollection
into a Policy, so that I might call java.security.Policy.setPolicy
(Policy).

Did I miss something? Is there an easier way to go from a
PermissionCollection to a workable SecurityManager?

...go from a
PermissionCollection to a workable SecurityManager?

Extend SecurityManager to accept a
PermissionCollection and ..

@Override
public void checkPermission(Permission perm) {
if (permissionCollection.implies(perm)) {
} else {
throw new SecurityException(
perm +
" denied by security manager!");
}
}

...To answer my own question.

Better/alternate answers still welcome, though.
