[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1976) Add org.jboss.seam.security.Identity.getRoleNames()

[Shane Bryzak (JIRA)]

     [ 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 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?
