Class RequiredPermissionsInterceptor

java.lang.Object
  org.rhq.enterprise.server.authz.RequiredPermissionsInterceptor

public class RequiredPermissionsInterceptor
extends java.lang.Object

An EJB3 interceptor that checks to ensure a given Subject has all of the global permissions that are specified via the RequiredPermissions annotation on the method to be invoked. If the method being invoked is not annotated with RequiredPermissions or it has an empty list of permissions, this interceptor passes the security check immediately. Otherwise, the method must have a Subject as its first parameter - that Subject will be checked to see if it has all the permissions required. If it does not, or if there is no Subject as the method's first parameter, this interceptor throws an exception and does not allow the method to be invoked.
