Hi Jeff, Thanks for your reply. One further question is that you confirmed that two AccessControlContext objects considered equal via method equals() should return same results for AccessControlContext.checkPermission() but test shows that 2 AccessControlContext objects are equal regardless of isLimited, limitedContext, parent, permissions, or privilegedContext. Does it make sense and apply to Java 8 AccessControlContext with JEP140?
Is it not true that a limited privileged context simply adds a protection domain that restricts permissions to the limited set? This seems to be the "obvious" implementation of the feature.
If so, then equals() should have taken it into account as a matter of course.
