Were planning to enable the user to download arbitrary JAVA apps from untrusted sources. What can we do to prevent these apps from harming the system?
The best solution for dealing with virtual machines, such as a Java runtime, is to isolate the virtual machine (VM) process into its own adaptive partition. This way, the VM can get access to as many CPU cycles as needed but never more that its budget when the CPU is fully loaded. If, for some reason, an application goes into an infinite loop or tries to hog all of the available CPU, it will be throttled back to the partitions budget. Using a secure partition in this way ensures downloadable Java applications can never interfere with the rest of the system.
