## Constructor Details

### AccessControlContext

public AccessControlContext(ProtectionDomain[] context)
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Create an `AccessControlContext` with the given array of `ProtectionDomain` objects. Context must not be `null`. Duplicate domains will be removed from the context.

Parameters:
  `context` - the `ProtectionDomain` objects associated with this context. The non-duplicate domains are copied from the array. Subsequent changes to the array will not affect this `AccessControlContext`.
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if `context` is `null`

### AccessControlContext

public AccessControlContext(AccessControlContext acc, DomainCombiner combiner)
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Create a new `AccessControlContext` with the given `AccessControlContext` and `DomainCombiner`. This constructor associates the provided `DomainCombiner` with the provided `AccessControlContext`.

Parameters:
  `acc` - the `AccessControlContext` associated with the provided `DomainCombiner`.
  `combiner` - the `DomainCombiner` to be associated with the provided `AccessControlContext`.
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if the provided `context` is `null`.
Since:
  1.3

## Method Details

### getDomainCombiner

public DomainCombiner getDomainCombiner()
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Get the `DomainCombiner` associated with this `AccessControlContext`.

Returns:
  the `DomainCombiner` associated with this `AccessControlContext`, or `null` if there is none.
Since:
  1.3

### checkPermission

public void checkPermission(Permission perm) throws AccessControlException
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Throws `AccessControlException`.

Parameters:
  `perm` - ignored
Throws:
  `AccessControlException` - always

### equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Checks two `AccessControlContext` objects for equality. Checks that `obj` is an `AccessControlContext` and has the same set of `ProtectionDomain` objects as this context.

Overrides:
  `equals` in class `Object`
Parameters:
  `obj` - the object we are testing for equality with this object.
Returns:
  `true` if `obj` is an `AccessControlContext`, and has the same set of `ProtectionDomain` objects as this context, `false` otherwise.

  - `Object.hashCode()`
  - `HashMap`

### hashCode

public int hashCode()
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Returns the hash code value for this context. The hash code is computed by exclusive or-ing the hash code of all the protection domains in the context together.

Overrides:
  `hashCode` in class `Object`
Returns:
  the hash code value for this context
