The following is a list of enhancements: - Overwrite and lock users file paths to a specific base path - All temporary files can automatically be created in the base path - You can limit the amount of storage being used in a path or file - You can limit the # of file and directories being created in path - You can make any path read only or read/write - You can allow or deny whether libraries can be loaded from a path. - You can allow or deny whether native methods can be used from a path. - You can have multiple paths to allow users to read or write to with different limiting storage and or # or files and directories. - You can limit the number of threads and thread priority. - You can limit the maximum # of windows being created. - You can allow or deny hosts and ports being used. - You can allow or deny execution of runtime process. - You can limit the amount of socket traffic throughput in bytes per second - All items can be controlled in a simple properties file Now I know a security manager could do a few of the items listed, but with this update you can still use the security manager. There are a few other things, but in order to get a complete view and the source code go to the following site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javasss/ Sean Godsell _________________________________________________________________
