FilePermission

Class Overview

The class FilePermission is responsible for granting access to files or directories. The FilePermission is made up of a pathname and a set of actions which are valid for the pathname.

The File.separatorChar must be used in all pathnames when constructing a FilePermission. The following descriptions will assume the char is /. A pathname which ends in "/*", implies all the files and directories contained in that directory. If the pathname ends in "/-", it indicates all the files and directories in that directory recursively.
