Method Detail

findAttributes

protected ConfigAttributeDefinition findAttributes(Class clazz)

Description copied from class: AbstractFallbackMethodDefinitionSource

Obtains the security metadata registered against the specified class.

Subclasses should only return metadata expressed at a class level. Subclasses should NOT aggregate metadata for each method registered against a class, as the abstract superclass will separate invoke AbstractFallbackMethodDefinitionSource.findAttributes(Method, Class) for individual methods as appropriate.

Specified by:

findAttributes in class AbstractFallbackMethodDefinitionSource

Parameters:

clazz - the target class for the invocation (never null)

Returns:

the security metadata (or null if no metadata applies)

findAttributes

protected ConfigAttributeDefinition findAttributes(Method method,
                                                   Class targetClass)

Description copied from class: AbstractFallbackMethodDefinitionSource

Obtains the security metadata applicable to the specified method invocation.

Note that the Method.getDeclaringClass() may not equal the targetClass. Both parameters are provided to assist subclasses which may wish to provide advanced capabilities related to method metadata being "registered" against a method even if the target class does not declare the method (i.e. the subclass may only inherit the method).

Specified by:

findAttributes in class AbstractFallbackMethodDefinitionSource

Parameters:

method - the method for the current invocation (never null)

targetClass - the target class for the invocation (may be null)

Returns:

the security metadata (or null if no metadata applies)

getConfigAttributeDefinitions

public Collection getConfigAttributeDefinitions()

Description copied from interface: ObjectDefinitionSource

If available, returns all of the ConfigAttributeDefinitions defined by the implementing class.

This is used by the AbstractSecurityInterceptor to perform startup time validation of each ConfigAttribute configured against it.

Returns:

the ConfigAttributeDefinitions or null if unsupported
