public final Class WebResourcePermission

Creates a new WebResourcePermission with the specified name and actions.

The name contains a URLPatternSpec that identifies the web resources to which the permissions applies. The syntax of a URLPatternSpec is as follows:

         URLPatternList ::= URLPattern | URLPatternList colon URLPattern

         URLPatternSpec ::= null | URLPattern | URLPattern colon URLPatternList

A null URLPatternSpec is translated to the default URLPattern, "/", by the permission constructor. The empty string is an exact URLPattern, and may occur anywhere in a URLPatternSpec that an exact URLPattern may occur. The first URLPattern in a URLPatternSpec may be any of the pattern types, exact, path-prefix, extension, or default as defined in the Jakarta Servlet Specification). When a URLPatternSpec includes a URLPatternList, the patterns of the URLPatternList identify the resources to which the permission does NOT apply and depend on the pattern type and value of the first pattern as follows:

• No pattern may exist in the URLPatternList that matches the first pattern.
• If the first pattern is a path-prefix pattern, only exact patterns matched by the first pattern and path-prefix patterns matched by, but different from, the first pattern may occur in the URLPatternList.
• If the first pattern is an extension pattern, only exact patterns that are matched by the first pattern and path-prefix patterns may occur in the URLPatternList.
• If the first pattern is the default pattern, "/", any pattern except the default pattern may occur in the URLPatternList.
• If the first pattern is an exact pattern a URLPatternList must not be present in the URLPatternSpec.

The actions parameter contains a comma separated list of HTTP methods. The syntax of the actions parameter is defined as follows:

         ExtensionMethod ::= any token as defined by RFC 2616
                   (that is, 1*[any CHAR except CTLs or separators])

         HTTPMethod ::= "GET" | "POST" | "PUT" | "DELETE" | "HEAD" |
                  "OPTIONS" | "TRACE" | ExtensionMethod

         HTTPMethodList ::= HTTPMethod | HTTPMethodList comma HTTPMethod

         HTTPMethodExceptionList ::= exclaimationPoint HTTPMethodList

         HTTPMethodSpec ::= null | HTTPMethodExceptionList |
                  HTTPMethodList

If duplicates occur in the HTTPMethodSpec they must be eliminated by the permission constructor.

A null or empty string HTTPMethodSpec indicates that the permission applies to all HTTP methods at the resources identified by the URL pattern.

If the HTTPMethodSpec contains an HTTPMethodExceptionList (i.e., it begins with an exclaimationPoint), the permission pertains to all methods except those occurring in the exception list.

Parameters

name:String

the URLPatternSpec that identifies the application specific web resources to which the permission pertains. All URLPatterns in the URLPatternSpec are relative to the context path of the deployed web application module, and the same URLPattern must not occur more than once in a URLPatternSpec. A null URLPatternSpec is translated to the default URLPattern, "/", by the permission constructor. All colons occuring within the URLPattern elements of the URLPatternSpec must be represented in escaped encoding as defined in RFC 2396.

actions:String

identifies the HTTP methods to which the permission pertains. If the value passed through this parameter is null or the empty string, then the permission pertains to all the possible HTTP methods.

Creates a new WebResourcePermission with name corresponding to the URLPatternSpec, and actions composed from the array of HTTP methods.

Parameters

urlPatternSpec:String

the URLPatternSpec that identifies the application specific web resources to which the permission pertains. All URLPatterns in the URLPatternSpec are relative to the context path of the deployed web application module, and the same URLPattern must not occur more than once in a URLPatternSpec. A null URLPatternSpec is translated to the default URLPattern, "/", by the permission constructor. All colons occuring within the URLPattern elements of the URLPatternSpec must be represented in escaped encoding as defined in RFC 2396.

HTTPMethods:String[]

an array of strings each element of which contains the value of an HTTP method. If the value passed through this parameter is null or is an array with no elements, then the permission pertains to all the possible HTTP methods.

Creates a new WebResourcePermission from the HttpServletRequest object.

Parameters

request:HttpServletRequest

the HttpServletRequest object corresponding to the Jakarta Servlet operation to which the permission pertains. The permission name is the substring of the requestURI (HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI()) that begins after the contextPath (HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()). When the substring operation yields the string "/", the permission is constructed with the empty string as its name. The permission's actions field is obtained from HttpServletRequest.getMethod(). The constructor must transform all colon characters occuring in the name to escaped encoding as defined in RFC 2396.
