/**
 * <p>A permission controlling access to MBeans located in namespaces.
 * If a security manager has been set using {@link
 * System#setSecurityManager}, most operations on an MBean mounted in a
 * namespace require that the caller's permissions imply a
 * JMXNamespacePermission appropriate for the operation.
 * This is described in detail in the
 * documentation for the
 * <a href="JMXNamespace.html#PermissionChecks">JMXNamespace</a>
 * class.</p>
 *
 * <p>As with other {@link Permission} objects,
 * a JMXNamespacePermission can represent either a permission that
 * you <em>have</em> or a permission that you <em>need</em>.
 * When a sensitive operation is being checked for permission,
 * a JMXNamespacePermission is constructed
 * representing the permission you need.  The operation is only
 * allowed if the permissions you have {@linkplain #implies imply} the
 * permission you need.</p>
 *
 * <p>A JMXNamespacePermission contains four items of information:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li id="Action"><p>The <em>action</em>.</p>
 * <p>For a permission you need,
 * this is one of the actions in the list <a
 * href="#action-list">below</a>.  For a permission you have, this is
 * a comma-separated list of those actions, or <code>*</code>,
 * representing all actions.</p>
 *
 * <p>The action is returned by {@link #getActions()}.</p>
 *
 * <li id="MBeanServerName"><p>The <em>MBean Server name</em>.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you need, this is the {@linkplain
 * javax.management.MBeanServerFactory#getMBeanServerName
 * name of the MBeanServer}
 * from which the <a href="#MBeanName">MBean</a> is accessed.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you have, this is either the  {@linkplain
 * javax.management.MBeanServerFactory#getMBeanServerName
 * name of the MBeanServer} from which the <a href="#MBeanName">MBean</a>
 * for which you have this permission is accessed,
 * or a pattern against which that MBean Server name will be matched.<br>
 * An {@code mbeanServername} pattern can also be empty, or the single
 * character {@code "*"}, both of which match any {@code MBeanServer} name.
 * The string {@code "-"} doesn't match any MBeanServer name.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>Example:</p>
 * <pre>
 *   // grant permission to invoke the operation "stop" on any MBean
 *   // whose name matches "a//*&#42;//*:type=JMXConnectorServer" when
 *   // accessed from any MBeanServer whose name matches myapp.*"
 *   permission javax.management.namespace.JMXNamespacePermission "myapp.*::stop[a//*&#42;//*:type=JMXConnectorServer]", "invoke";
 * </pre>
 *
 * <li id="Member"><p>The <em>member</em>.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you need, this is the name of the attribute or
 * operation you are accessing.  For operations that do not reference
 * an attribute or operation, the member is null.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you have, this is either the name of an attribute
 * or operation you can access, or it is empty or the single character
 * "<code>*</code>", both of which grant access to any member.</p>
 *
 * <p>There is a special case for actions {@code registerMBean} and
 *    {@code instantiate}, where for a permission you need, {@code member}
 *    indicates the name of the class for which you are trying
 *    to create, instantiate, or register an MBean instance. For a
 *    permission you have, it is a pattern that will be matched against
 *    the full class name of the MBean being created, instantiated, or
 *    registered.
 * </p>
 *
 *
 * <li id="MBeanName"><p>The <em>object name</em>.</p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you need, this is the {@link ObjectName} of the
 * MBean you are accessing. It is of the form {@code <namespace>//<mbean name>}
 * where {@code <namespace>} is the name of the name space for which the
 * permission is checked, and {@code <mbean name>} is the name of the MBean
 * within that namespace.
 * <br>
 * For operations that do not reference a
 * single MBean, the <em>object name</em> is null.  It is never an object
 * name pattern.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>For a permission you have, this is the {@link ObjectName} of the
 * MBean or MBeans you can access. It is of the form
 * {@code <namespace>//<mbean name>}
 * where {@code <namespace>} is the name of the name space for which the
 * permission is checked, and
 * {@code <mbean name>} is the name of the MBean
 * within that namespace. Both {@code <namespace>} and {@code <mbean name>}
 * can be patterns. The <em>object name</em>
 * may also be empty, which grants access to all MBeans whatever their
 * name and namespace.
 * When included in a namespace path the special path element
 * <code>**</code> matches any number of sub namespaces
 * recursively, but only if used as a complete namespace path element,
 * as in <code>*&#42;//b//c//D:k=v</code> or <code>a//*&#42;//c//D:k=v</code>
 * - see <a href="#metawildcard">below</a>.
 * </p>
 *
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>If you have a JMXNamespacePermission, it allows operations only
 * if all four of the items match.</p>
 *
 * <p>The <a href="#MBeanServerName">MBeanServer name</a>,
 * <a href="#Member">member</a>, and <a href="#MBeanName">object name</a>
 * can be written together
 * as a single string, which is the <em>name</em> of this permission.
 * The name of the permission is the string returned by {@link
 * java.security.Permission#getName() getName()}.
 * The format of the string is:</p>
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code <mbean server name>::<member>[<namespace>//<mbean name>]}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * The {@code <mbean server name>} is optional. If omitted, {@code "*"} is
 * assumed, and these three permission names
 * are thus equivalent:
 * </p>
 * <blockquote>
 * {@code *::<member>[<namespace>//<mbean name>]}<br>
 * {@code ::<member>[<namespace>//<mbean name>]}<br>
 * {@code <member>[<namespace>//<mbean name>]}<br>
 * </blockquote>
 * <p>
 *    The {@code <namespace>//<mbean name>} string can be in the form
 *    of a traditional ObjectName
 *    pattern - meaning that <code>?</code> will match any single
 *    character, and <code>*</code> will match any sequence of characters,
 *    except {@value
 *    javax.management.namespace.JMXNamespaces#NAMESPACE_SEPARATOR}
 *    In addition, when included in a namespace path the special
 *    path element <code>**</code> matches any number of sub namespaces
 *    recursively.
 *    A {@code <namespace>//<mbean name>} string of the form
 *    <code>*&#42;//*:*</code> thus means that the permission is
 *    granted for all MBeans in all namespaces, recursively (see
 *    <a href="#metawildcard">below</a> for more details.
 * </p>
 * <p>Namespace permission checking may be tricky to configure, depending
 *    on whether the namespaces crossed to reach the MBean are local or
 *    remote.<br>
 *    For instance, let <code>a//b//D:k=v</code> be an MBean exposing an
 *    attribute <code>Foo</code>.
 *    If namespace <code>a</code> is a plain JMXNamespace pointing to
 *    a local MBeanServer in the same JVM, then the permissions you need
 *    to get the attribute <code>Foo</code> will be:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 *    // granting permission to access attribute 'Foo' of MBean a//b//D:k=v
 *    // from MBeanServer named 'srv1'
 *    // This permission will be checked by the MBeanServer that contains 'a'.
 *    srv1::Foo[a//b//D:k=v]
 *
 *    // Since a is local, you also need the following additional permission,
 *    // which will be checked by the MBeanServer 'srv2' that contains 'b':
 *    //
 *    // granting permission to access attribute 'Foo' of MBean b//D:k=v from
 *    // 'srv2'
 *    srv2::Foo[b//D:k=v]
 * </pre>
 * <p>On the other hand, if namespace <code>a</code> is a JMXRemoteNamespace
 *    pointing to an MBeanServer in a remote JVM, then the only permission you
 *    need to get the attribute <code>Foo</code> will be:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 *    // granting permission to access attribute 'Foo' of MBean a//b//D:k=v
 *    // from 'srv1'
 *    srv1::Foo[a//b//D:k=v]
 * </pre>
 * <p>The namespace <code>b</code> resides in the remote JVM, and
 *    therefore the permissions concerning access to MBeans from
 *    namespace 'b' will only be checked in the remote JVM, if that JVM is
 *    configured to do so.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>The {@code <mbean name>} is written using the usual syntax for {@link
 * ObjectName}.  It may contain any legal characters, including
 * <code>]</code>.  It is terminated by a <code>]</code> character
 * that is the last character in the string.
 * </p>
 * <p>Below are some examples of permission names:</p>
 * <pre>
 *    // allows access to Foo in 'a//b//*:*' from any MBeanServer in the JVM.
 *    Foo[a//b//*:*]
 *
 *    // allows access to Foo in all subnamespaces of 'a//b', but only for
 *    // MBeanServers whose name matches 'myapp.*'
 *    myapp.*::Foo[a//b//*&#42;//*:*]
 *
 *    // allows access to Foo from all namespaces in the MBeanServer named
 *    // 'myapp.srv1' - but not recursively.
 *    myapp.srv1::Foo[&#42;//*:*]
 * </pre>
 * <p>For instance, the first two permissions listed above
 *    will let through {@code getAttribute("a//b//D:k=v","Foo");} in
 *    all MBeanServers, but will block access to
 *    {@code getAttribute("a//b//c//D:k=v","Foo");} in MBeanServers whose
 *    name do not start with {@code "myapp."}.
 * </p>
 * <p><a name="metawildcard">Depending on how your namespace hierarchy
 *    is defined some of these wildcard permission names can be useful</a>:</p>
 * <pre>
 *    // allows access to Foo in all namespaces, recursively.
 *    //
 *    *::Foo[*&#42;//*:*]
 *
 *    // This permission name is the equivalent to the permission names above:
 *    // Foo[*&#42;//*:*] and Foo[] are equivalent.
 *    //
 *    Foo[]
 *
 *    // This permission name is the equivalent to the two permission names
 *    // above:
 *    // Foo[*&#42;//*:*], Foo[], Foo are equivalent.
 *    //
 *    Foo
 *
 *    // allows access to Foo from all namespaces - but not recursively.
 *    // This wildcard permission complements the previous one: it allows
 *    // access to 'Foo' from an MBean directly registered in any local namespace.
 *    //
 *    Foo[&#42;//*:*]
 *
 * </pre>
 * <p><b>Note on wildcards:</b> In an object name pattern, a path element
 *    of exactly <code>**</code> corresponds to a meta
 *    wildcard that will match any number of sub namespaces. Hence:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <table border="1">
 * <thead><th>pattern</th><th>matches</th><th>doesn't match</th></thead>
 * <tbody>
 * <tr><td><code>*&#42;//D:k=v</code></td>
 *     <td><code>a//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>a//b//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>a//b//c//D:k=v</code></td>
 *     <td><code>D:k=v</code></td></tr>
 * <tr><td><code>a//*&#42;//D:k=v</code></td>
 *     <td><code>a//b//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>a//b//c//D:k=v</code></td>
 *     <td><code>b//b//c//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>a//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>D:k=v</code></td></tr>
 * <tr><td><code>a//*&#42;//e//D:k=v</code></td>
 *     <td><code>a//b//e//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>a//b//c//e//D:k=v</code></td>
 *     <td><code>a//b//c//c//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>b//b//c//e//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>a//e//D:k=v</code><br>
 *         <code>e//D:k=v</code></td></tr>
 * <tr><td><code>a//b*&#42;//e//D:k=v</code></td>
 *      <td><code>a//b//e//D:k=v</code></td>
 *      <td><code>a//b//c//e//D:k=v</code><br>
 *          because in that case <code>b*&#42;</code><br>
 *         is not a meta-wildcard - and <code>b**</code><br>
 *         is thus equivalent to <code>b*</code>.</td></tr>
 * </tbody>
 * </table>
 *</ul>
 *
 * <p>If {@code <mbean server name>::} is omitted, then one of
 * <code>member</code> or <code>object name</code> may be omitted.
 * If the <code>object name</code> is omitted,
 * the <code>[]</code> may be too (but does not have to be).  It is
 * not legal to omit all items, that is to have a <em>name</em>
 * which is the empty string.</p>
 * <p>If {@code <mbean server name>} is present, it <b>must be followed</b> by
 *    the {@code "::"} separator - otherwise it will be interpreted as
 *    a {@code member name}.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * One or more of the <a href="#MBeanServerName">MBean Server name</a>,
 * <a href="#Member">member</a>
 * or <a href="#MBeanName">object name</a> may be the character "<code>-</code>",
 * which is equivalent to a null value.  A null value is implied by
 * any value (including another null value) but does not imply any
 * other value.
