Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultMethodSecurityExpressionHandler, DefaultWebSecurityExpressionHandler

public abstract class AbstractSecurityExpressionHandler<T>
extends Object
implements SecurityExpressionHandler<T>, ApplicationContextAware

Base implementation of the facade which isolates Spring Security's requirements for evaluating security expressions from the implementation of the underlying expression objects.

Since:

3.1

AbstractSecurityExpressionHandler

public AbstractSecurityExpressionHandler()

Method Detail

getExpressionParser

public final ExpressionParser getExpressionParser()

Specified by:

getExpressionParser in interface SecurityExpressionHandler<T>

Returns:

an expression parser for the expressions used by the implementation.

setExpressionParser

public final void setExpressionParser(ExpressionParser expressionParser)

createEvaluationContext

public final EvaluationContext createEvaluationContext(Authentication authentication,
                                                       T invocation)

Invokes the internal template methods to create StandardEvaluationContext and SecurityExpressionRoot objects.

Specified by:

createEvaluationContext in interface SecurityExpressionHandler<T>

Parameters:

authentication - the current authentication object

invocation - the invocation (filter, method, channel)

Returns:

the context object for use in evaluating the expression, populated with a suitable root object.

createEvaluationContextInternal

protected StandardEvaluationContext createEvaluationContextInternal(Authentication authentication,
                                                                    T invocation)

Override to create a custom instance of StandardEvaluationContext.

The returned object will have a SecurityExpressionRootPropertyAccessor added, allowing beans in the ApplicationContext to be accessed via expression properties.

Parameters:

authentication - the current authentication object

invocation - the invocation (filter, method, channel)

Returns:

A StandardEvaluationContext or potentially a custom subclass if overridden.

createSecurityExpressionRoot

protected abstract SecurityExpressionOperations createSecurityExpressionRoot(Authentication authentication,
                                                                             T invocation)

Implement in order to create a root object of the correct type for the supported invocation type.

Parameters:

authentication - the current authentication object

invocation - the invocation (filter, method, channel)

Returns:

the object wh

getRoleHierarchy

setRoleHierarchy

public void setRoleHierarchy(RoleHierarchy roleHierarchy)

getPermissionEvaluator

setPermissionEvaluator

public void setPermissionEvaluator(PermissionEvaluator permissionEvaluator)

setApplicationContext

public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext)

Specified by:

setApplicationContext in interface ApplicationContextAware
