Description

Bugtraq ID 4832729

The various Security.grant methods could be more precise in specifying the
methods used to perform certain operations. In particular:

• Security.grant(Class, Permission[]) should specify the method called on
  the policy provider to grant the permissions. It could also specify
  how the current policy provider and the principals of the current subject
  are determined.

• Security.grant(Class, Principal[], Permission[]) should specify the
  method called on the policy provider to grant the permissions, and could
  also specify how the current policy provider is determined.

• Security.grant(Class, Class) could specify how the current policy provider
  and the principals of the current subject are determined.
