Restrict some API in Embedded Groovy

Question

I just embedded Groovy in my application and wondering if it's possible to restrict access to some APIs i.e. java.io.File, java.net.URL, etc

Or instead of completely restricting java.io.File access, I want to ONLY allow access to certain directories on the machine.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Use the Java Security Manager. Refer this answer for an example.

Have you looked at Java security and the policy file ? I suspect setting FilePermission will do what you want.

a quick look at the link shows that I can "grant" permission to a file directory. However, is it possible to "ungrant" permission? – hishboy Jun 21 '10 at 20:34
