Allow users to see all their available branches in the navigation tree
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: NXP-6224
URL: https://jira.nuxeo.com/browse/NXP-6224
Project: Nuxeo Enterprise Platform
Issue Type: Contribution
Components: Web UI
Affects Versions: 5.3.2
Environment: RHEL5 64 bit, PostreSQL
Reporter: Christophe Capon
Attachments: CustomTreeActionsBean.java
In the navigation tree, when the user does not have access to a workspace, he
cannot access this workspace children, except if he is provided with a direct
link to this document. In this case, he can navigate up to the first available
parent. In our company, this is a problem because we have disabled all the root
workspaces access rights for security reason. Our idea here is to provide an
access to all the "first available parents", which means all the isolated
hierarchies of workspaces can be reached.
Example : in the following hierarchy, the user can only see C in the current
version, but cannot access B11 or B2.
A (denied)
+ B (denied)
+ B1 (denied)
+B11 (allowed)
+B111 (allowed)
+B12 (denied)
+ B2 (allowed)
+ C (allowed)
The attached file is a proposed patch to fix this. The user would see this :
B11
B2
C
All documents can be reached this way.
The inconvenience is that the displayed roots are not at the same levels, and
if there are many 'holes' the tree can be very crowded.
This has not been fully regression-tested but did not rise any problem in
production and is very satisfactory for our user. I provide it for any comment,
and is a proposal for a contribution. It is a patch which extends the
TreeActionsBean component and overrides the treeActions seam component (with a
@Install(precedence = DEPLOYMENT).
