Protected Attributes unsigned int  fEntityExpansionLimit Detailed Description Allow application to force the parser to behave in a security-conscious way. There are cases in which an XML- or XmL-schema- conformant processor can be presented with documents the processing of which can involve the consumption of prohibitive amounts of system resources. Applications can attach instances of this class to parsers that they've created, via the http://apache.org/xml/properties/security-manager property. Defaults will be provided for all known security holes. Setter methods will be provided on this class to ensure that an application can customize each limit as it chooses. Components that are vulnerable to any given hole need to be written to act appropriately when an instance of this class has been set on the calling parser. Member Enumeration Documentation anonymous enum   Enumeration values: ENTITY_EXPANSION_LIMIT  Constructor & Destructor Documentation SecurityManager::SecurityManager (    )    Default constructor. virtual SecurityManager::~SecurityManager (    )  [virtual]   Destructor. Member Function Documentation virtual unsigned int SecurityManager::getEntityExpansionLimit (    )  const [virtual]   Permits the application or a parser component to query the current limit for entity expansions. Returns: the current setting of the entity expansion limit virtual void SecurityManager::setEntityExpansionLimit (  unsigned int    newLimit )  [virtual]   An application should call this method when it wishes to specify a particular limit to the number of entity expansions the parser will permit in a particular document. The default behaviour should allow the parser to validate nearly all XML non-malicious XML documents; if an application knows that it is operating in a domain where entities are uncommon, for instance, it may wish to provide a limit lower than the parser's default. Parameters: newLimit  the new entity expansion limit Member Data Documentation unsigned int SecurityManager::fEntityExpansionLimit [protected] The documentation for this class was generated from the following file: SecurityManager.hpp
