Method Details

createAcl

MutableAcl createAcl(ObjectIdentity objectIdentity)
              throws AlreadyExistsException

Creates an empty Acl object in the database. It will have no entries. The returned object will then be used to add entries.

Parameters:

objectIdentity - the object identity to create

Returns:

an ACL object with its ID set

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - if the passed object identity already has a record

deleteAcl

void deleteAcl(ObjectIdentity objectIdentity,
 boolean deleteChildren)
        throws ChildrenExistException

Removes the specified entry from the database.

Parameters:

objectIdentity - the object identity to remove

deleteChildren - whether to cascade the delete to children

Throws:

ChildrenExistException - if the deleteChildren argument was false but children exist

updateAcl

MutableAcl updateAcl(MutableAcl acl)
              throws NotFoundException

Changes an existing Acl in the database.

Parameters:

acl - to modify

Throws:

NotFoundException - if the relevant record could not be found (did you remember to use createAcl(ObjectIdentity) to create the object, rather than creating it with the new keyword?)
