Interface HttpServletAccessProvider

Deprecated. Use EntityViewAccessProvider instead

public interface HttpServletAccessProvider

Represents a bean which is capable of handling direct HTTP access for an entity.

This interface would be typically implemented from a tool (webapp) context, and registered with the HttpServletAccessProviderManager in a context loader listener.

If the implementation throws a SecurityException during the course of this method, the access will be directed to a login page or authentication method before being redirected to the tool.
