That is, either the named permission is granted * or it is not. * *
It also supports trailing wildcards to allow the easy granting of * permissions in a hierarchical fashion. (For example, the name "org.gnu.*" * might grant all permissions under the "org.gnu" permissions hierarchy). * The only valid wildcard character is a '*' which matches anything. It * must be the rightmost element in the permission name and must follow a * '.' or else the Permission name must consist of only a '*'. Any other * occurrence of a '*' is not valid. * *
This class ignores the action list. Subclasses can choose to implement
* actions on top of this class if desired.
