I started looking at the UserManager and Permissions and have a
couple immediate questions...
Is the set of possible actions finite and known (when roller is
compiled) or is it extensible by the user? If it's known I'm going
to propose essentially a bitset implementation for actions.
Are the following really intentional?
oops, these are supposed to be Collections.singletonList() etc.
new GlobalPermission(Arrays.emptyList()).implies(new
GlobalPermission(Arrays.singletonList("ADMIN"))) == true
new GlobalPermission(Arrays.singletonList("FOO")).implies(new
GlobalPermision(Arrays.singletonList("BAR"))) == true
and many other similar examples with WebLogPermission. This seems
to me like asking for trouble.
Similarly, is the name really supposed to be ignored in both implies
methods?
new WebLogPermission(wl1, Collections.singletonList("Admin")).implies
(new WebLogPermission(wl2, Collections.singletonList("Admin"))) == true
similarly for GlobalPermission's user...
etc etc
thanks again
thanks
