Darran Lofthouse updated AS7-6316:
----------------------------------
Summary: Review of AccessController and PrivilegedAction use across AS7 (was:
Update all PrivilegedAction and PrivilegedExceptionAction that don't require arguments
be singletons and ensure correct use of Void return type where appropriate.)
Description:
The following needs reviewing across AS7: -
- On demand instantiation of PrivilegedActions where singletons would suffice (Consider
frequency of calls, gc may be preferable).
- Use of AccessController even though there is no SecurityManager set.
- Code duplication, in every case I have seen so far the code is the same regardless of
if PRIVILEGED or NON_PRIVILEGED
- Utility methods with visibility too high.
- In depth review of the other methods, i.e. if the first thing a public method does is
set the class loader based on a parameter passed in it could be used badly - it may even
be a justification for that method to NOT use a PrivilegedAction.
