Check permission for any PortalObjectNode instance

(from http://jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=98906)

Access to PortalAuthorizationManagerFactory, then to the PortalAuthorizationManager for permission checking.

From within a portlet, retrieve this factory using :

PortalAuthorizationManagerFactory pamf = (PortalAuthorizationManagerFactory) getPortletContext().getAttribute("AMF");

Then use the checkPermission() method of the Manager.

You have to inject the service in the portlet context attribute, by declaring in jboss-portlet.xml file :

<service>
  <service-name>AMF</service-name>
  <service-class>org.jboss.portal.security.spi.auth.PortalAuthorizationManagerFactory</service-class>
  <service-ref>:service=PortalAuthorizationManagerFactory</service-ref> 
</service>
