Method Detail

deleteAce

void deleteAce(Serializable aceId)
               throws NotFoundException

Throws:

NotFoundException

getEntries

AccessControlEntry[] getEntries()

Retrieves all of the non-deleted AccessControlEntry instances currently stored by the MutableAcl. The returned objects should be immutable outside the package, and therefore it is safe to return them to the caller for informational purposes. The AccessControlEntry information is needed so that invocations of update and delete methods on the MutableAcl can refer to a valid AccessControlEntry.getId().

Specified by:

getEntries in interface Acl

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

getId

Serializable getId()

Obtains an identifier that represents this MutableAcl.

Returns:

the identifier, or null if unsaved

               throws NotFoundException

Throws:
