[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3408) Define available @UserPassword hash constants as an enumeration

Define available @UserPassword hash constants as an enumeration --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3408 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3408 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Security Affects Versions: 2.1.0.BETA1 Reporter: Jacob Orshalick Assignee: Shane Bryzak Priority: Optional Attachments: HashAlgorithm.java As specified in the documentation, the available hash algorithm string values are the strings: md5, sha. There is also a value of "none" which is not specified in the documentation but avoids hashing the password all-together. It would be nice to wrap these strings with an enumeration that holds the necessary String values for a bit more type-safety when using the annotation. This would also help to make the options it a bit more clear from a user perspective. The annotation could then be defined as: @Target({METHOD,FIELD}) @Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Inherited public @interface UserPassword { HashAlgorithm hash() default HashAlgorithm.MD5; }
