hi aimran
you have to reapply the modified policy. modifying the
policy doesn't modify the underlying items.

Hi Justin,
I finally got a chance to try what you suggested. Unfortunately it doesn't
work. I followed your steps exactly:
Here are the extracts of the code:
- AccessControlPolicy[] policies =
session.getAccessControlManager().getPolicies(n.getPath());//root node
for (AccessControlPolicy policy : policies) {
if (policy instanceof AccessControlList) {
AccessControlList acl = AccessControlList.class.cast(policy);//OBTAINED THE
ACL
AccessControlEntry[] ent = acl.getAccessControlEntries();
for (AccessControlEntry ace : ent) {
acl.removeAccessControlEntry(ace);//REMOVED ALL ENTRIES
}
once you are done with the modifications call
AccessControlManager.setPolicy(String path, AccessControlPolicy policy);
}
session.save();
...
MyPrincipal admingroup_principal = new
MyPrincipal("Administrators");//CREATED NEW GROUP
admin_group = um.createGroup(admingroup_principal);
acl.addAccessControlEntry(admingroup_principal,
session.getAccessControlManager().getSupportedPrivileges(n.getPath()));
session.getAccessControlManager().setPolicy(n.getPath(), policy);//ADDED THE
ACL FOR THE NEW GROUP
session.save();
}
Now if I login as guest and try to read the contents, the guest is still
able to access and read the workspace.
What am doing wrong? I have been banging my head over setting a simple
policy for hours. Went through the tests code, browsed forums, to no avail.
