Enum VotingStrategy

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<VotingStrategy>
    public enum VotingStrategy
extends Enum<VotingStrategy>
    A voting strategy establishes what to do when different authorization results are produced during the evaluation of a permission over a protected resource. This is the case when the user is assigned with more than one user and/or group. In such case, different strategies can be applied in order to resolve what is the winning result.
