Annotation Type AccessRequired

@Target(TYPE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface AccessRequired

Allows command developers to declare what resources are affected by the command and what actions must be authorized on each to allow the command to execute.

Use any or all of the following to control authorization:

• Use the @AccessRequired annotation at the class level to declare a resource name and action to be enforced; use @AccessRequired.List to declare more than one combination of resources and actions.
• Use the @AccessRequired.To annotation on a field that is a ConfigBean to declare one or more actions to be enforced on the resource derived from that config bean.
• Have the command class implement @AccessRequired.Authorizer which prescribes the isAuthorized method that will make authorization decisions internally, without help from the command framework.

The command processor will find all @AccessRequired annotations and subannotations and make sure all of them pass before allowing the command to proceed.

Element Detail

resource

String[] resource

Name(s) of the resource(s) to which access should be checked. The name string can contain one or more tokens of the form ${fieldName} where "fieldName" is a field on the same command class (or a superclass) that contains a non-null value. If the referenced field is a ConfigBean then at runtime the resource name of that ConfigBean replaces the token. Otherwise the field's toString() return value replaces the token.

action

String[] action

One or more actions to authorize against the named resource.
