http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38849 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-03-04 05:31 ------- This sounds similar to something I've seen in a financial record keeping system. They defined a hierarchy of permissions on resources that were data centric. This was an interesting design because it was difference than your standard groups, users and roles. It added a OO spin that was also relational. You created a generalization template defining the order of evaluation of rules assigned to context state. In the snippet below (stylized for JSF and XML), the individual would override the group, group override the profile and the providing company would be the most general. <generalization id="TOP_MENU"> <context id="PROV_COMPANY" expr="#{sessionScope['prov']}" level="0"/> <context id="PROFILE" expr="#{sessionScope['prof']}" level="2"/> <context id="GROUP" expr="#{sessionScope['grp']}" level="4"/> <context id="INDV" expr="#{requestScope['ind_id']}" level="6"/> </generalization> Define arbitrary resources associated with visual widgets, transactions or operations. <resources id="view_balance" description="Participant Balance"/> <resources id="transfer_history" description="Transfer History"/> Define rules that associate a resource with a relationship used in its evaluation based on a know data state. <rule resourceId="view_balance" generalizationId="TOP_MENU" contextId="PROV_COMPANY" contextRuleValue="ABC LLC" status="OFF" /> <rule resourceId="view_balance" generalizationId="TOP_MENU" contextId="GROUP" contextRuleValue="1234" status="OFF"/> <rule resourceId="view_balance" generalizationId="TOP_MENU" contextId="GROUP" contextRuleValue="4321" status="ON"/> Pseudo code: //find the relationship used to evaluation the status of a resource Generalization gen = Factory.getGeneralization("TOP_MENU"); //populate the relationship with context state data GenContext genContext = new GenContext(gen, facesContext); //find all rules for a resource ordered by the relationship ResourceRules rules = Factory.getResourceRules("view_balance", gen); // evaluation the status of a resource based on the current state and the relationships rules.evaluate(genContext) -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
