Method Detail

getUserClass

protected java.lang.Class getUserClass()

Returns:

the type of user this realm knows about

Overrides:

getUserClass in class weblogic.security.acl.FlatGroup

addMember

public boolean addMember(java.security.Principal principal)

Add a member to this group. The new member can be either a user or a group, but must belong to this realm.

Parameters:

principal - the new member

Returns:

true if the member was added, false if it was already a member

Overrides:

addMember in class weblogic.security.acl.DefaultGroupImpl

removeMember

public boolean removeMember(java.security.Principal principal)

Remove a member from this group. The member can be either a user or a group, but must belong to this realm.

Parameters:

principal - the member to remove

Returns:

true if the member was removed, false if it was not a member

Overrides:

removeMember in class weblogic.security.acl.DefaultGroupImpl

isInternalMember

protected boolean isInternalMember(java.security.Principal member)

Determine if a principal is a member of this group *directly*, not through a group hierarchy. This way we can check before we add/remove a member, because even if a user is a member of a child group, we might still want to add it to this group.
