Class java.rmi.RMISecurityManager

java.lang.Object | +----java.lang.SecurityManager | +----java.rmi.RMISecurityManager
public class RMISecurityManager
extends SecurityManager
This class defines a default security policy for RMI applications (not applets). For code loaded from a class loader, the security manager disables all functions except class definition and access. This class may be subclassed to implement a different policy. To set a RMISecurityManager, add the following to an application's main() method:
System.setSecurityManager(new RMISecurityManager()); If no security manager has been set, RMI will only load classes from local system files as defined by CLASSPATH.
