Method Detail

name

java.lang.String name()

The unique name assigned to this constraint. It is an error for more than one AuthorizationConstraint to share the same name.

Returns:

The name

challenges

AuthenticationChallenge[] challenges()

Returns the authentication AuthenticationChallenges that are bound to this constraint.

Returns:

Array of AuthenticationChallenge instances that the constraint is bound to

authorized

boolean authorized(java.security.Principal principal)

Determines if a Principal is authorized to access this privilege.

Parameters:

principal - The Principal to test for authorization

Returns:

true if the principal is authorized to access the resource, false otherwise

equals

boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

All AuthorizationConstraint implementations MUST implement the Object.equals(Object) method correctly. Typical implementations of this method should check if the specified object is an instance of AuthorizationConstraint. If it is then delegate to equals(AuthorizationConstraint). If not then return false.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - The object to test for equality.

Returns:

true if this instance and the specified instance are equal.

equals(AuthorizationConstraint)

equals

boolean equals(AuthorizationConstraint constraint)

All AuthorizationConstraint implementations MUST implement the equals(AuthorizationConstraint) method correctly. Typical implementations of this method should check if the specified object is an instance of the same sub-type of AuthorizationConstraint. If it is then compare each of the properties of the sub-type for equality. If it is not of the same sub-type then return false.

Parameters:

constraint - The AuthorizationConstraint to test for equality

Returns:

true if this instance and the specified instance are equal.

hashCode

int hashCode()

All AuthorizationConstraint implementations MUST implement the Object.hashCode() method correctly.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.hashCode()
