/**
 * Represents permissions that can be used to express the access control
 * policy for the {@link java.rmi.activation.ActivationSystem} remote
 * object exported with
 * {@link net.jini.jeri.BasicJeriExporter}. This
 * class can be passed to
 * {@link net.jini.jeri.BasicInvocationDispatcher},
 * and then used in security policy permission grants.
 * <p>
 * An instance 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
 * convention is that the target name is the fully qualified name of the
 * remote method being invoked. Wildcard matches are supported using the
 * syntax specified by {@link AccessPermission}.
 * <p>
 * The possible target names are:
 * <table border=1 cellpadding=5>
 * <tr>
 * <th>Permission Target Name</th>
 * <th>What the Permission Allows</th>
 * <th>Risks of Allowing this Permission</th>
 * </tr>
