Refactor Realm implementations to favor delegation over inheritance
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: KI-77
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KI-77
Project: Ki
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Realms
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Les Hazlewood
Fix For: 1.0
Currently most people need to subclass Realm implementations to perform role
and/or permission checks. This is not very scalable when more than a few
realms exist, or people need to re-use realms across applications.
Instead, it would be much nicer to allow developers to configure components
that did most of the common Realm logic, regardless of data store. For
example, perhaps a RolePermissionResolver could be introduced:
rolePermissionResolver.getPermissions( String roleName );
This could be injected across multiple realms across applications instead of
needing to subclass Realm implementations - a little nicer approach. Also, we
might want to look at uses of the Strategy design pattern for checking logic.
