## Class JAXBPermission

- java.lang.Object
- - java.security.Permission
  - - java.security.BasicPermission
    - - javax.xml.bind.JAXBPermission

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Guard

      public final class JAXBPermission
      extends BasicPermission

  This class is for JAXB permissions. A `JAXBPermission` contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.

  The target name is the name of the JAXB permission (see below).

  The following table lists all the possible `JAXBPermission` target names, and for each provides a description of what the permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.

  Permission Target Name | What the Permission Allows | Risks of Allowing this Permission
  --- | --- | ---
  setDatatypeConverter | Allows the code to set VM-wide `DatatypeConverterInterface` via `the setDatatypeConverter method` that all the methods on `DatatypeConverter` uses. | Malicious code can set `DatatypeConverterInterface`, which has VM-wide singleton semantics, before a genuine JAXB implementation sets one. This allows malicious code to gain access to objects that it may otherwise not have access to, such as `Frame.getFrames()` that belongs to another application running in the same JVM.

  Since:
    JAXB 2.2
