How to use a custum permission in the .policy file

Question

Hi,
I am stuck with the problem of having a custum permission that extands java.security.BasicPermission.
I really want this permission to be checked from my .policy file, but when I try to include its location : c:\java_project\server\SpecialPolicy.class
it pops a message that file is not found. I have tried dots, different slashes (back and forward) and still have no luck. I need this custum permission to be checked so that I can allow special access from a certain codebase so that say if I try a dangerous method I can just simply check in the code;
this.getSecurityManager.checkPermission(new SpecialPermission("lol"));
Also I need a paramater option, but I cant think of any since its not a FilePermission that takes a name and attributes (read, write..) what does BasicPermission take and if I extend it what attribute should I pass in. I dont really care about how this permission works, i just use it to restrict access to a certain functions in code that are ran from specific codeBAse.
Please dont ask why I need this :)
Thanks in advance, the documentation on how to add custum policies is simply NOT THERE. thus I have to bug people around.

Hi
If you just have to add another permission it is easy.
Create a class extending the BasicPermission. Have an entry into
the policy file like
grant <Principal> {
permission <CumstomPermission> "lol"
}that should be all. If you do have a specific Principal, please
do not forget to add the Principal to the relevant Subject after login.
cheers
