# Class GuardingDynamicLinkerExporter

java.lang.Object
jdk.dynalink.linker.GuardingDynamicLinkerExporter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Supplier<List<GuardingDynamicLinker>>`

public abstract class GuardingDynamicLinkerExporter extends Object implements Supplier<List<GuardingDynamicLinker>>
A class acting as a supplier of guarding dynamic linkers that can be automatically loaded by other language runtimes. Language runtimes wishing to export their own linkers should subclass this class and implement the `Supplier.get()` method to return a list of exported linkers and declare the subclass in `/META-INF/services/jdk.dynalink.linker.GuardingDynamicLinkerExporter` resource of their distribution (typically, JAR file) so that dynamic linker factories can discover them using the `ServiceLoader` mechanism. Note that instantiating this class is tied to a security check for the `RuntimePermission("dynalink.exportLinkersAutomatically")` when a security manager is present, to ensure that only trusted runtimes can automatically export their linkers into other runtimes.

## Field Details

### AUTOLOAD_PERMISSION_NAME

public static final String AUTOLOAD_PERMISSION_NAME
The name of the runtime permission for creating instances of this class. Granting this permission to a language runtime allows it to export its linkers for automatic loading into other language runtimes.

## Constructor Details

### GuardingDynamicLinkerExporter

protected GuardingDynamicLinkerExporter()
Creates a new linker exporter. If there is a security manager installed checks for the `RuntimePermission("dynalink.exportLinkersAutomatically")` runtime permission. This ensures only language runtimes granted this permission will be allowed to export their linkers for automatic loading.

Throws:
  `SecurityException` - if the necessary runtime permission is not granted.
