public final class BundlePermission extends BasicPermission
A bundle's authority to require or provide a bundle or to receive or attach fragments.

A bundle symbolic name defines a unique fully qualified name. Wildcards may be used. 

 name ::= <symbolic name> | <symbolic name ending in ".*"> | *
Examples: 
 org.osgi.example.bundle
 org.osgi.example.*
 *

BundlePermission has four actions: provide, require, host, and fragment. The provide action implies the require action.

    • BundlePermission

      public BundlePermission(String symbolicName, String actions)
      Defines the authority to provide and/or require and or specify a host fragment symbolic name within the OSGi environment.

      Bundle Permissions are granted over all possible versions of a bundle. A bundle that needs to provide a bundle must have the appropriate BundlePermission for the symbolic name; a bundle that requires a bundle must have the appropriate BundlePermssion for that symbolic name; a bundle that specifies a fragment host must have the appropriate BundlePermission for that symbolic name.

      Parameters:
      symbolicName - The bundle symbolic name.
      actions - provide,require, host, fragment (canonical order).

  • Method Details

    • implies

      public boolean implies(Permission p)
      Determines if the specified permission is implied by this object.

      This method checks that the symbolic name of the target is implied by the symbolic name of this object. The list of BundlePermission actions must either match or allow for the list of the target object to imply the target BundlePermission action.

      The permission to provide a bundle implies the permission to require the named symbolic name. 

             x.y.*,"provide" -> x.y.z,"provide" is true
       *,"require" -> x.y, "require"      is true
       *,"provide" -> x.y, "require"      is true
       x.y,"provide" -> x.y.z, "provide"  is false
      Overrides:
      implies in class BasicPermission
      Parameters:
      p - The requested permission.
      Returns:
      true if the specified BundlePermission action is implied by this object; false otherwise.

    • getActions

      public String getActions()
      Returns the canonical string representation of the BundlePermission actions.

      Always returns present BundlePermission actions in the following order: provide, require, host, fragment.

      Overrides:
      getActions in class BasicPermission
      Returns:
      Canonical string representation of the BundlePermission actions.

    • newPermissionCollection

      public PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()
      Returns a new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing BundlePermission objects.
      Overrides:
      newPermissionCollection in class BasicPermission
      Returns:
      A new PermissionCollection object.

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object obj)
      Determines the equality of two BundlePermission objects. This method checks that specified bundle has the same bundle symbolic name and BundlePermission actions as this BundlePermission object.
      Overrides:
      equals in class BasicPermission
      Parameters:
      obj - The object to test for equality with this BundlePermission object.
      Returns:
      true if obj is a BundlePermission, and has the same bundle symbolic name and actions as this BundlePermission object; false otherwise.

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns the hash code value for this object.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class BasicPermission
      Returns:
      A hash code value for this object.
