Query method permission

emild Sep 1, 2003 6:38 AM

Is it possible to query jboss for the permissions the currently logged in user has for a certain method?

The reason for this is that I want to write a swing based client app, where fields the user has read only access to are locked and fields the user has no access to are grayed out. So what I need is a way to check the permissions of methods programatically.

Thanks in advance
Emil

The realm mapping interface (implemented by security manager) exposes method
public boolean doesUserHaveRole(Principal principal, Set roleNames);

if you know on the client side what role the client must have in order to access specific GUI part.

Or you could build a simple stateless service that on the server side accesses the authorized subject via SecurityAssociation and returns the role names from the Subject's 'Roles' group.
