Constructor Detail

• ActionPermission

  protected ActionPermission(String name,
                  org.wicketstuff.security.actions.WaspAction actions)

  Creates a new ActionPermission with the specified name and actions.

  Parameters:

  name - non null name of the permission

  actions - a logical and of all the allowed / required actions for this permission

Method Detail

• implies

  public boolean implies(Permission permission)

  Performs a logical and to see if this permission has at least all the actions as the other permission and thus if this permission implies the other permission. Inherited actions are considered.

    Some basic rules about implies:
   
  
    if 2 permissions are equal both should imply the other.
   
   
  
    if 2 permissions are not equal they might still imply each other, or 1 might implies the other but not vice versa
   
   
  
    a permission should imply another permission if they are of the same class and the first has at least,
        all the actions of the second permission and they have the same name.
   
   
  
    a permission should imply another permission if there is some kind of hierarchical structure between them
         and the other permission is able to inherit the required actions from the first permission.
    
    To further clarify the part about inheritance. This implementation implies any type of ActionPermission under the following conditions.
   
  
    Equal name and actions
   
   
  
    This permission has the inherit action and all or more of the other permissions actions
       and the name of the other permission starts with the name of this permission.
   
    Subclasses like DataPermission that only wish to imply other DataPermissions could simply override implies like this.
   
   if (permission instanceof DataPermission)
          return super.implies(permission);
   return false;
   
    Note that this does not prevent other subclasses from ActionPermission to imply your permission (as stated above).
