 * The target name is the name of the JAXB permission (see below).
 *
 * <P>
 * The following table lists all the possible {@code JAXBPermission} target names,
 * and for each provides a description of what the permission allows
 * and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.

 *     Allows the code to set VM-wide {@link DatatypeConverterInterface}

 *     that all the methods on {@link DatatypeConverter} uses.
 *   </td>
 *   <td>
 *     Malicious code can set {@link DatatypeConverterInterface}, which has
 *     VM-wide singleton semantics,  before a genuine JAXB implementation sets one.
 *     This allows malicious code to gain access to objects that it may otherwise
 *     not have access to, such as {@link java.awt.Frame#getFrames()} that belongs to
