Thinking that no new types of permissions will come up is unrealistic IMO. Moving a resource to a different path, changing a resource's owner...back to Mike's changing the"no access between 8AM and 5PM" access rule can also very well be a permission type. But I agree that this would require handling the "unknown permission type" case. > ...I also don't see a need to do it in the same way as JCR does - we > should do it what fits best in our resource api and what is the best > way to cover the use cases :)... Of course, but some consistency wouldn't hurt either, I don't see what makes the multiple methods better than the single method + permission name, and we already have that latter pattern in our codebase. -Bertrand
