  org.springframework.security.intercept.method.MethodInvocationPrivilegeEvaluator

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean

public class MethodInvocationPrivilegeEvaluator
extends Object
implements InitializingBean

Allows users to determine whether they have "before invocation" privileges for a given method invocation.

Of course, if an AfterInvocationManager is used to authorize the result of a method invocation, this class cannot assist determine whether or not the AfterInvocationManager will enable access. Instead this class aims to allow applications to determine whether or not the current principal would be allowed to at least attempt to invoke the method, irrespective of the "after" invocation handling.
