Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few more questions on the ACL sandbox code. I was wondering why not have the AccessControlEntry interface deal with Atomic permissions instead of a Cumulative Permission - is this due to a performance issue? I was wondering why not do the following in AccessControlEntry interface: /** * Get the atomic * permissions for this ACE. * * @return */ public Permission[] getPermissions(); /** * Returns a single integer mask. It is * expected to be a sum of the atomic * permissions in this ACE. * * @return */ public int getMask(); /** * Get the pattern for this ACE * * @return */ public String getPattern() I was also wondering about the isGranting() method. When would a permission not be granting? I changed the interface to the following so I could delegate to the ACE for checking permissions for a sid: public boolean isGranting(int mask, Sid sid); Thanks for all the help. -Nate ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
