Class VaadinConnectAccessChecker

java.lang.Object

com.vaadin.fusion.auth.VaadinConnectAccessChecker

public class VaadinConnectAccessChecker
extends Object

Component used for checking role-based ACL in Vaadin Endpoints.

For each request that is trying to access the method in the corresponding Vaadin Endpoint, the permission check is carried on.

It looks for AnonymousAllowed PermitAll, DenyAll and RolesAllowed annotations in endpoint methods and classes containing these methods (no super classes' annotations are taken into account).

Method-level annotation override Class-level ones.

In the next example, since the class is denied to all, method1 is not accessible to anyone, method2 can be executed by any authorized used, method3 is only allowed to the accounts having the ROLE_USER authority and method4 is available for every user, including anonymous ones that don't provide any token in their requests.

 @Endpoint
 @DenyAll
 public class DemoEndpoint {

     public void method1() {
     }

     @PermitAll
     public void method2() {
     }

     @RolesAllowed("ROLE_USER")
     public void method3() {
     }

     @AnonymousAllowed
     public void method4() {
     }
 }
