All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

final class BasicPermissionCollection

extends PermissionCollection

implements Serializable

A BasicPermissionCollection stores a collection of BasicPermission permissions. BasicPermission objects must be stored in a manner that allows them to be inserted in any order, but enable the implies function to evaluate the implies method in an efficient (and consistent) manner. A BasicPermissionCollection handles comparing a permission like "a.b.c.d.e" with a Permission such as "a.b.*", or "*".
