Developers no longer need to call the SecurityManager from their code
843811Jun 26 2001 — edited Jul 24 2001At least this is what I was told happens in 1.4. The class loader looks at the policy file and adds security manager call backs to classes at the appropriate points. I am also told that to cope with this the policy file has been extended to include ... well... more.
I can't find anything about this anywhere and to be honest I'm a bit sceptical.... but I have a meeting to go to tomorrow where this theory may re-emerge.
