Paranoid sandbox by way of ClassLoader

Paranoid sandbox by way of ClassLoader - viability

Thread view:

- 28 May 2004 17:26 GMT

Here is my goal: to jail (i.e. put in a sandbox) a .class code's running
completely from access to all other classes JVM could possible load, except
java.lang.Object (which I suppose is the basic minimal).

I have written a code to do that by way of ClassLoader. Before proceeding to
write the rest of my program, I wanna ask, how safe will this mechanism be?

I'm not aware of a way to do that, and the result would be rather
useless.
