Constructor Detail

### SubjectDomainCombiner

  Associate the provided `Subject` with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

  Parameters:
    `subject` - the `Subject` to be associated with with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

Method Detail

### getSubject

    public Subject getSubject()

  Get the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

  Returns:
    the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`, or `null` if no `Subject` is associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.SecurityException` - if the caller does not have permission to get the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

### combine

    public java.security.ProtectionDomain[] combine(java.security.ProtectionDomain[] currentDomains,
                                                    java.security.ProtectionDomain[] assignedDomains)

  Update the relevant ProtectionDomains with the Principals from the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

  A new `ProtectionDomain` instance is created for each `ProtectionDomain` in the currentDomains array. Each new `ProtectionDomain` instance is created using the `CodeSource`, `Permission`s and `ClassLoader` from the corresponding `ProtectionDomain` in currentDomains, as well as with the Principals from the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

  All of the newly instantiated ProtectionDomains are combined into a new array. The ProtectionDomains from the assignedDomains array are appended to this new array, and the result is returned.

  Note that optimizations such as the removal of duplicate ProtectionDomains may have occurred. In addition, caching of ProtectionDomains may be permitted.

  Specified by:
    `combine` in interface `java.security.DomainCombiner`
  Parameters:
    `currentDomains` - the ProtectionDomains associated with the current execution Thread, up to the most recent privileged `ProtectionDomain`. The ProtectionDomains are are listed in order of execution, with the most recently executing `ProtectionDomain` residing at the beginning of the array. This parameter may be `null` if the current execution Thread has no associated ProtectionDomains.

    `assignedDomains` - the ProtectionDomains inherited from the parent Thread, or the ProtectionDomains from the privileged context, if a call to AccessController.doPrivileged(..., context) had occurred This parameter may be `null` if there were no ProtectionDomains inherited from the parent Thread, or from the privileged context.
  Returns:
    a new array consisting of the updated ProtectionDomains, or `null`.
