Class WildcardTypePermission

java.lang.Object

com.thoughtworks.xstream.security.RegExpTypePermission

com.thoughtworks.xstream.security.WildcardTypePermission

All Implemented Interfaces:

TypePermission

public class WildcardTypePermission
extends RegExpTypePermission

Permission for any type with a name matching one of the provided wildcard expressions.

Supported are patterns with path expressions using dot as separator:

• ?: one non-control character except separator, e.g. for 'java.net.Inet?Address'
• *: arbitrary number of non-control characters except separator, e.g. for types in a package like 'java.lang.*'
• **: arbitrary number of non-control characters including separator, e.g. for types in a package and subpackages like 'java.lang.**'

The complete range of UTF-8 characters is supported except control characters.

Note: The wildcard pattern will not match by default anonymous types, since these classes are rarely used for serialization.

Since:

1.4.7
