[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-3351) Permissions.createPermission(String name, String action, Class target) Fails for action == null

["Arjen Hoekstra (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3351?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14287692#comment-14287692 ] 

Arjen Hoekstra commented on FELIX-3351:
---------------------------------------

I actually encountered the same issue with the 'javax.xml.bind.JAXBPermission', which only has a 1-argument constructor. This causes AccessControlExceptions when this permission is needed, even when it has been added correctly to the policy file. For now, I have patched 'org.apache.felix.framework.security.jar' using the above patch (thanks Bob for adding the patch!), but it would be nice if this could be added to a new version, so that we don't have to maintain a patched version ourselves. 
Hope this gives a bit more background, if you would like more info, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

> java.security.Permission has a single constructor, Permission(String name).  While many subclasses add another constructor with sig (String name, String actions), this is not a requirement for Permission subclasses and custom permissions without the actions arg are not properly handled by createPermission().
