Interface User

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AnonymousUser

public interface User
extends java.io.Serializable

The security support in jZeno assumes that you have a model bean that implements this interface. You have to configure the concrete fully qualified class name in configuration.properties.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getUserName() Any user in the system should be identified with a system-wide unique user name.
boolean	hasPermission(java.lang.String permissionName) The User implementation should be able to tell wether or not a given user has a requested permission.
boolean	hasRole(java.lang.String roleName) The User implementation should be able to tell wether or not a given user has a requested role.

Method Detail

getUserName

java.lang.String getUserName()

Any user in the system should be identified with a system-wide unique user name.

hasPermission

boolean hasPermission(java.lang.String permissionName)

The User implementation should be able to tell wether or not a given user has a requested permission. Typically your user object could have roles and permissions associated to it, and then the implementation of this method would look up all permissions and return true if the requested permission was associated to the user. But the details of the implementation are up to you.

hasRole

boolean hasRole(java.lang.String roleName)

The User implementation should be able to tell wether or not a given user has a requested role. Typically your user object could have roles to it, and then the implementation of this method would look up all roles and return true if the requested role was assigned to the user. But the details of the implementation are up to you. If you do not wish to implement role based security, this method should just return false.
