Method Detail

isMember

boolean isMember(Authorizable authorizable)

Deprecated.

Checks if the given Authorizable is a member of the current Group. This check will validate to true for transitive group membership. Example: if Authorizable A is a direct member of Group G2 and G2 is a direct member of Group G1, than G1.isMember(A) == true. But G1.remove(A) == false as A only can be removed from G2

Parameters:

authorizable - in question

Returns:

true if the given authorizable is member of this group.

members

Iterator<Authorizable> members()

Deprecated.

Return all Authorizables that are direct members of this Group. No transitive membership is contained, thus a call to each returned Authorizables memberOf-method contains this Group.

Returns:

Iterator containing all direct Members of this Group

addMember

boolean addMember(Authorizable authorizable)

Deprecated.

The implementation is no required to check for circular membership definition.

Parameters:

authorizable - to add as a Member

Returns:

true if the Authorizable has not been contained beforehand

removeMember

boolean removeMember(Authorizable authorizable)

Deprecated.

Parameters:

authorizable - to remove

Returns:

true if the Authorizable has been member before
