    Subject: Implementing multilple sandboxes

Hi

I hava an appliction that requires a loose security policy (eg. total file system access). I want this application to apply a tighter security policy (eg. reduced file system access) to any classes it may download from a network connection.

I've read the documentation about the SecurityManager class. To me it seemed that an application can only apply a security policy (via SecurityManager) once to the whole application.

Short of running multiple JVM's, is there a way for an application to apply a stricter security policy to a subset of it's classes while retaining a looser security policy for the rest of its classes?

Thanks
Strangie
