An Authorization provider that supports deploying policies on behalf of Web application and EJB deployment needs to implement this interface.
A policy states which roles are allowed to perform particular actions on a resource (for example, who is allowed to call a particular method on a certain EJB).
When a Web application or EJB is deployed, policies need to be created. Similarly, when the Web application or EJB is re/hot deployed, the policies need to be updated. And, when the Web application or EJB is undeployed, the policies should be removed. This work needs to be done by an Authorization provider.
Not all Authorization providers need to support this interface. However, in a realm, at least one of the Authorization providers must support this interface. Otherwise, it is impossible to deploy Web applications and EJBs. To help with this, there are two MBeans associated with Authorization providers: one for providers who support deployment and one for those that do not support deployment. The one for deployment has an attribute that indicates whether this provider should be used for deployment. This way, when the realm is configured, it is possible to detect illegal configurations (for example, none of the Authorization providers support Web application/EJB deployment).

Method Detail |
public void deployPolicy(Resource resource, java.lang.String[] roleNames) throws ResourceCreationException
resource
- the Resource
object to which the policy applies.
(For example, for a Web application, the resource is
tied to a <web-resource-name>
in
the web.xml
deployment descriptor file, which
is specified as the resourceName
attribute on
the WebResource
class.)roleNames
- a String array of roles (within this application) that are in
this policy. (For example, for a Web application,
the <role-name>
from the
<auth-constraint>
portion of the
web.xml
deployment descriptor file.)public void undeployPolicy(Resource resource) throws ResourceRemovalException
resource
- the Resource
object to which the policy applies.
(For example, for a Web application, the resource is
tied to a <web-resource-name>
in the
web.xml
deployment descriptor file, which
is specified as the resourceName
attribute on
the WebResource
class.)
