Class ActionRepository

java.lang.Object

org.mmbase.security.Configurable

org.mmbase.security.ActionRepository

Direct Known Subclasses:

MemoryActionRepository

public abstract class ActionRepository
extends Configurable

The defined 'actions' are maintained by the Action repository. The security implementation can decide how to persist actions and how to connect rights to it, and hence is responsible for implementation this. Every action is identified by two strings: a namespace (which may be null) and it's name. Namespaces are likely to correspond with Components.

    Action action = ActionRepository.getInstance().get("core", "viewsource");
    Parameters params = action.createParameters();
    // perhaps supply some parameters, not needed in this case (it may be null then too).
    if (cloud.check(cloud.getUser(), action, parameters)) { // checks if current user may view the source
       /// show the source..
       ...
    } else {
       return "not allowed to view the source";
    }
