I2JAV11 — 2 IDL->Java issues on the singleton ORB (02)

  • Key: I2JAV11-79
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1750
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: How is an ORB to determine whether or not it is in an
    applet context? The nearest that I can see is to check for the presence
    of a SecurityManager. If we are in an applet context, then there is a
    SecurityManager present, but the inverse (that the presence of a
    SecurityManager implies that we are in an applet) is not true. It is
    however the case that whenever a SecurityManager is present, potentially
    untrusted code is present, so the same constraints on the singleton ORB
    are probably appropriate. Therefore, I propose that the specification be
    changed to state that if System.getSecurityManager() returns a non-null
    result, the singeton ORB should be constrained to creating TypeCodes and
    Anys.
