Interface PermissionVoter

All Known Implementing Classes:

DroolsPermissionVoter, PersistentPermissionVoter

public interface PermissionVoter

A PermissionVoter may be used to determine access restrictions for application resources. For every permission check the application performs, the hasPermission() method of each known PermissionVoter is invoked. For the permission check to succeed, at least one PermissionVoter must return a result of VotingResult.ALLOW. If any PermissionVoter returns a result of VotingResult.DENY, the permission check is unsuccessful and the user is not allowed to carry out the requested operation. If a PermissionVoter does not explicitly allow or deny the permission, it should return a result of PermissionVoter.NOT_APPLICABLE.
