Description

Please consider the following testmethod:

public void test_policyFileEntry_contains_Quotes1() throws Exception

{ System.setProperty("java.security.policy", "resources/policyTest2.txt"); AccessController.checkPermission(new RuntimePermission("setSecurityManager")); }

Above test passes with RI. HDK throws AccessControlException. HDK not able to parse the Policy file if the particular entries permission_class_name enclosed with quotes. But as per javadoc, policy file entry must be the following [1]. But RI allows the quotes for permission_class_name. Please find the sample policy file entry here [2]

[1]
permission permission_class_name ["target_name"] [, "action_list"] [, signedby "name1,...,nameN"]
