Specified by:

hashCode in class Permission

Returns:

the hash code for this Object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Check two FilePermissions for semantic equality. Two FilePermissions are exactly equivalent if they have identical path expressions and have exactly the same access permissions.

Specified by:

equals in class Permission

Parameters:

o - the Object to compare to.

Returns:

whether the Objects are semantically equivalent.

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

implies

public boolean implies(Permission p)

Check to see if this permission implies another. Permission A implies permission B if these things are all true:

1. A and B are both FilePermissions.
2. All possible files in B are included in A (possibly more are in A).
3. All actions B supports, A also supports.

Specified by:

implies in class Permission

Parameters:

p - the Permission to compare against.

Returns:

whether this Permission implies p
