WebLogic Server 8.1 API Reference

weblogic.security.spi
Interface WLSGroup

All Known Implementing Classes:: WLSGroupImpl

public interface WLSGroup
extends java.security.Principal

The WLSGroup interface is a marker interface used to signify that a principal represents a WebLogic Server group. Therefore, any principal that is going to represent a WebLogic Server group should implement this interface.

If you want to get all the groups a user belongs to, you should get all principals of this type. Alternatively, the best way to find out if a user is in a group is to use the SubjectUtils.isUserInGroup method.
