public class ProviderPermission
extends BasicPermission

This class is for applications which wish to be able to install providers. A ProviderPermission contains a name and an action string.

The permission name is the fully qualified class name of the provider class to be installed. Hence applications which can install more than one provider will have multiple instances of this permission.

The actions list shall either be "xlet" or "system". "xlet" means the right to install the provider as an xlet bound provider and "system" as a system bound provider. No checking shall be performed on whether the specified class name is consistent with the action.
