[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1976) Add org.jboss.seam.security.Identity.getRoleNames()
[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1976?page=all ]
Shane Bryzak closed JBSEAM-1976.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Rejected
Assignee: Shane Bryzak
Roles aren't stored consistently across implementations, so this isn't practical.
I recommend that you query the db (or wherever the roles are loaded from) to get a list of
roles assigned to the user, otherwise wait for JBSEAM-730.
Add org.jboss.seam.security.Identity.getRoleNames()
---------------------------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-1976
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1976
Project: JBoss Seam
Issue Type: Patch
Components: Security
Affects Versions: 1.2.1.GA
Reporter: jarkko Lietolahti
Assigned To: Shane Bryzak
Add new method (e.g.) getRoleNames which returns a list of role names (or either
Group.classes).
This is because I need to check if the current user has any roles at all. And currently I
need to write:
Set roles = Identity.instance().getSubject().getPrincipals(Group.class);
if (roles.isEmpty()) {
return null; // user without any roles
}
And I'd like to be able to write:
Identity.instance().getRoleNames().isEmpty();
What do you think?
