Interface WLSGroup

All Superinterfaces:

Principal

All Known Implementing Classes:

WLSGroupImpl

public interface WLSGroup
extends 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.
