Package weblogic.security.service

Class ApplicationResource

java.lang.Object

weblogic.security.service.ResourceBase

weblogic.security.service.ApplicationResource

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Resource, SelfDescribingResource, SelfDescribingResourceV2

public final class ApplicationResource
extends ResourceBase

The ApplicationResource class is used by a container to specify the Application resource (and method related to the resource) for which a security policy is being defined, or that a caller is attempting to access.

The toString format (which is produced by the ResourceBase class) for an Application resource is:
type=<app>, application=myApp

This resource is primarily used in the creation of a security policy for an application that contains multiple, different types of components. In particular, it should be used to define a security policy that is applied equally to all components of an application, instead of to any specific component of the application.

Method Detail

getKeys

public java.lang.String[] getKeys()

Gets keys for the ApplicationResource.

Specified by:

getKeys in interface Resource

Specified by:

getKeys in class ResourceBase

Returns:

an array of Strings containing the ApplicationResource's keys.

makeParent

protected Resource makeParent()

Gets a Resource object that represents the parent of the current ApplicationResource. If the resource does not have a parent, the value of null must be returned.

There is no inheritance hierachy inherent in an ApplicationResource. This returns the resource that was passed in to the ApplicationResource at creation time. This is why an ApplicationResource can appear in the parentage of EISResources, and URLResources.

Overrides:

makeParent in class ResourceBase

Returns:

the Resource object of the parent resource.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Compares this resource to the resource in the specified object.

Specified by:

equals in interface Resource

Overrides:

equals in class ResourceBase

Parameters:

obj - the other resource with which to compare this resource.

Returns:

TRUE if the resource passed in matches this resource, and FALSE otherwise.

Object.equals(Object)

getType

public java.lang.String getType()

Gets the type of this resource (ApplicationResource).

Returns:

the type of this resource, represented as a String.

getApplicationName

public java.lang.String getApplicationName()

Gets the name associated with the ApplicationResource.

Returns:

the name of the application in which the resource is deployed, represented as a String.
