## Constructor Details

### SubjectDomainCombiner

public SubjectDomainCombiner​(Subject subject)
Associate the provided `Subject` with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

Parameters:
  `subject` - the `Subject` to be associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

## Method Details

### getSubject

public Subject getSubject()
Get the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

Returns:
  the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`, or `null` if no `Subject` is associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.
Throws:
  `SecurityException` - if the caller does not have permission to get the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

### combine

public ProtectionDomain[] combine​(ProtectionDomain[] currentDomains, ProtectionDomain[] assignedDomains)
Update the relevant ProtectionDomains with the Principals from the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`.

A new `ProtectionDomain` instance is created for each non-static `ProtectionDomain` ( (staticPermissionsOnly() == false) in the `currentDomains` array. Each new `ProtectionDomain` instance is created using the `CodeSource`, `Permission`s and `ClassLoader` from the corresponding `ProtectionDomain` in `currentDomains`, as well as with the Principals from the `Subject` associated with this `SubjectDomainCombiner`. Static ProtectionDomains are combined as-is and no new instance is created.

All of the ProtectionDomains (static and newly instantiated) are combined into a new array. The ProtectionDomains from the `assignedDomains` array are appended to this new array, and the result is returned.

Note that optimizations such as the removal of duplicate ProtectionDomains may have occurred. In addition, caching of ProtectionDomains may be permitted.

Specified by:
  `combine` in interface `DomainCombiner`
Parameters:
  `currentDomains` - the ProtectionDomains associated with the current execution Thread, up to the most recent privileged `ProtectionDomain`. The ProtectionDomains are listed in order of execution, with the most recently executing `ProtectionDomain` residing at the beginning of the array. This parameter may be `null` if the current execution Thread has no associated ProtectionDomains.
  `assignedDomains` - the ProtectionDomains inherited from the parent Thread, or the ProtectionDomains from the privileged `context`, if a call to `AccessController.doPrivileged(..., context)` had occurred This parameter may be `null` if there were no ProtectionDomains inherited from the parent Thread, or from the privileged `context`.
Returns:
  a new array consisting of the updated ProtectionDomains, or `null`.
