Abstract: A method and device for specifying multiple packages with a single entry to be shared by a bundle, are provided. A plurality of packages may be associated with an expression. The expression may be included in a description of a bundle that enables deployment of the plurality of packages in the framework. The plurality of packages may be exported by the bundle to the framework which provides an environment for execution of the plurality of packages.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for managing an access privilege of an application in a Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) environment. The method includes: marking a privileged code in the application; executing the privileged code in a secured thread having a unique thread identifier; identifying the privilege code by mapping the unique thread identifier with an application identifier from a mapping table; checking a permission policy file to determine what kind of resource access privilege the identified privileged code has; and permitting the application to access the resources according to the determination results. Accordingly, when an application tries to access resources in a framework, an access privilege of the application can be managed so that no applications can maliciously access the resources by identifying the application by using the mapping table and checking the security policy file of the identified application.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for managing resource access privileges of an application in a Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) environment. The method includes executing the application in a thread having a unique thread identifier, identifying the application by mapping the unique thread identifier with an application identifier from a mapping table, examining a security policy to determine the kind of resource access privileges the identified application has, and allowing or not allowing, according to the examination result, the application to access the resources. Accordingly, when an application tries to access resources in a device, access privileges of the application can be managed so that the application does not maliciously access the resources.
