## Class AllPermission

- java.lang.Object
- - java.security.Permission
  - - java.security.AllPermission

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Guard

      public final class AllPermission
      extends Permission

  The AllPermission is a permission that implies all other permissions.

  Note: Granting AllPermission should be done with extreme care, as it implies all other permissions. Thus, it grants code the ability to run with security disabled. Extreme caution should be taken before granting such a permission to code. This permission should be used only during testing, or in extremely rare cases where an application or applet is completely trusted and adding the necessary permissions to the policy is prohibitively cumbersome.

    - #### AllPermission

          public AllPermission(String name,
                               String actions)

      Creates a new AllPermission object. This constructor exists for use by the `Policy` object to instantiate new Permission objects.
      Parameters:
        `name` - ignored
        `actions` - ignored.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### implies

          public boolean implies(Permission p)

      Checks if the specified permission is "implied" by this object. This method always returns true.
      Specified by:
        `implies` in class `Permission`
      Parameters:
        `p` - the permission to check against.
      Returns:
        return

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object obj)

      Checks two AllPermission objects for equality. Two AllPermission objects are always equal.
      Specified by:
        `equals` in class `Permission`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object we are testing for equality with this object.
      Returns:
        true if obj is an AllPermission, false otherwise.
      See Also:
        `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Returns the hash code value for this object.
      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in class `Permission`
      Returns:
        a hash code value for this object.
      See Also:
        `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`

    - #### getActions

          public String getActions()

      Returns the canonical string representation of the actions.
      Specified by:
        `getActions` in class `Permission`
      Returns:
        the actions.

    - #### newPermissionCollection

          public PermissionCollection newPermissionCollection()

      Returns a new PermissionCollection object for storing AllPermission objects.

      Overrides:
        `newPermissionCollection` in class `Permission`
      Returns:
        a new PermissionCollection object suitable for storing AllPermissions.
