Woody,
I think that I ran into this before and I still don't know why rundata's ACL
is null. Feel free to submit this as a bug (perhaps then it will get looked
at). Here's some code to get user permissions:
Hashtable permSet = new Hashtable(); // use whatever container you like
here
Iterator roles =
JetspeedSecurity.getRoles(data.getUser().getUserName());
while (roles.hasNext()) {
Iterator perms =
JetspeedSecurity.getPermissions(((Role)roles.next()).getName());
while (perms.hasNext()) {
try {
String perm = ((Permission)perms.next()).getName();
if (!permSet.containsKey(perm)) {
permSet.put(perm, "");
}
} catch (Exception e1) {
}
}
}
In the end, permSet will contain unique set of user permission names. Hope
this helps.
Best regards,
