Quick Tour of Controlling Applications


Pre-requisite lesson: Quick Tour of Controlling Applets(in the Java Security 1.2 trail)

This lesson gives another quick tour of how to control access to resources, this time for applications. It shows how resource accesses may be controlled exactly the same for applications as for applets, when the applications are run under a security manager.

The steps for this lesson are:

  1. Observe Application Freedom

  2. See How to Restrict Applications

  3. Set up the Policy File to Grant the Required Permissions

  4. See the Policy File Effects
