Re: Can a module use the bridge interface

TrustedInterface.

This interface could have 2 functions:
        void runCloud(Cloud cloud);
        void runAsUser(UserContext context);
weird method names 
Forgive me for not being so creative to choose better names ;)

modules must be able to get the cloud and not the reverse since clouds can get invalid
Would one want to obtain a cloud, this can be easy done by using the 
following lines:

MyApplicationXClass extends TrustedInterface {

	public void doCloudOperation() {		
		// notice the _this_ in the next line	
MMBase.getMMBaseCop().GetAuthorization().runCloud("admin", 
"application-x", this);
		
	}

        void runCloud(Cloud cloud){
                cloud.doSpecialApplicationXOperations();
        }
}
This way there will be a clear seperation between trusted and not 
trusted code.

When the cloud gets invalid, the cloud has to be obtained again, thus 
meaning that the security has to be checked again (the cloud can be set 
invalid by the security iirc)
