Constants Summary

COMMUNITY_URI

public static final ContextKey COMMUNITY_URI

optional. If a groupSpace community, need the community uri for entitlements check

Method Detail

getSubject

public static Subject getSubject()

Returns the currently logged in subject

Returns

logged in subject

getUserName

public static String getUserName()

Gets the userName of the currently logged in user

Returns

The user name.

getRootTaxonomy

public static String getRootTaxonomy(String repositoryName,
                                     String resourceType)

Return the taxonomy of the repository root.

To get the taxonomy of the root of the repository named "WLP Repository" to check the capabilities associated with the repository in general: String taxonomy = ContentSecurityHelper.getRootTaxonomy('WLP Repository', ContentEntitlementHelper.RESOURCE_REPOSITORY);

However, when placing entitlements on content within the repository, use the taxonomy of the content node representing the root of the repository named "WLP Repository": String taxonomy = ContentSecurityHelper.getRootTaxonomy('WLP Repository', ContentEntitlementHelper.RESOURCE_CONTENT);

Similarly, when placing entitlements on ObjectClasses within the repository, use the taxonomy of the ObjectClass representing the root of the repository named "WLP Repository": String taxonomy = ContentSecurityHelper.getRootTaxonomy('WLP Repository', ContentEntitlementHelper.RESOURCE_TYPE);

Parameters

resourceType - The resourceType defined in ContentEntitlementHelper [RESOURCE_CONTENT, RESOURCE_TYPE, RESOURCE_REPOSITORY, RESOURCE_WORKFLOW]

repositoryName - The name of the repository. If it's null, it will return taxonomy of the Virtual Repository

Returns

The taxonomy for that repository. Will throw an IllegalArgumentException if invalid resource type is specified

getTaxonomy

public static String getTaxonomy(Node node)

Return the taxonomy of the node used by the Content Security Layer

Here is an example of using this method to grant all users in the 'MyClients' role view capability on the repository named "WLP Repository" starting at the node with path /WLP Repository/A/B/C: INodeManager nodeManager = ContentManagerFactory.getNodeManager(); ContentContext cc = new ContentContext(); Node node = nodeManager.getNode(cc, "/WLP Repository/A/B/C"); String taxonomy = ContentSecurityHelper.getTaxonomy(node); List<String> roleList = new ArrayList<String>(); roleList.add('MyClients'); String capability = ContentEntitlementHelper.CAN_VISITOR_VIEW; ContentSecurityHelper.createVisitorSecurityPolicy(cc, taxonomy, roleList, capability, null);

Parameters

node - The node object

Returns

The taxonomy

getTaxonomy

public static String getTaxonomy(ObjectClass objectClass)

Return the taxonomy of the type used by the Content Security Layer

Parameters
