Restrict some API in Embedded Groovy

Question

Hello,

I just embedded Groovy in my application and wondering if it's possible to restrict access to some APIs i.e. java.io.File, java.net.URL, etc

Or instead of completely restricting java.io.File access, I want to ONLY allow access to certain directories on the machine.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Have you looked at Java security and the policy file ? I suspect setting FilePermission will do what you want.

Answer 2

Use the Java Security Manager. Refer this answer for an example.
