This patch proposes to move java.xml.ws, java.xml.bind, java.activation
out of the boot loader and be loaded by the extension class loader. We
grant java.xml.ws and java.xml.bind the minimum set of permissions.
java.activation hasAllPermission for now and that can be revised in the
future when JAF team identifies the permission set required java.activation.
Miroslav - can you confirm if the JAX-WS and JAXB standalone tests pass
with this patch?
Existing code that assumes the defining class loader of JAX-WS, JAXB,
JAF classes may be impacted by this change (e.g. the class loader
delegation to the bootstrap class loader skipping the extension class
loader). They are standalone technologies that used to be loaded by
non-null class loader before they were included in Java SE. It should
be rare of such dependency. Callbacks may assume java.xml.ws and
java.xml.bind classes to have AllPermissions so that when running with
security manager, if the permission required for callback is not part of
the permission set granted to java.xml.ws and java.xml.bind,
SecurityException will be thrown. We need customer testings to identify
this callback permission case and revisit if they should be granted with
AllPermission for JDK 9.
