Hi all,
here is some though about representation of grants :
we don't care.
Let me explain why I'm so brutal ;) :
- this is something that will be hidden from user face. ( at least as
soon as we have a cool GUI to deal with those grants )
- and as soon as it works, it's ok. Even if it's complicated to
understand, we will always be able to have a clear view of grants if we
use - as suggested by Trustin - jdk 1.5 enums.
So the questions are
- how do we translate those bits to an internal representation
- what is the easiest way to implements those ACIItems
- what are the performance impacts on the whole system of this encoding
and translation
I think that the third question is orders of magnitude less important
than the two others.
I buy the idea of having a clear text solution, like :
"grantsAndDenials { grantBrowse, denyModify }", combined with Trustin's
Enum.
Am I right?
