Interface SecurityControllerManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultSecurityControllerManager

public interface SecurityControllerManager

A SecurityControllerManager is responsible for linking a controllable object, one that implements SecurityControllable, to the appropriate SecurityController to manage it.

The SecurityControllable object will provide a controller Id that needs to be mapped to a specific controller. See SecurityControllable#getSecurityControllerId(). This id will then be used in a call to getSecurityController(String) to find the registered security controller.

Each security controller is implicitly registered under its bean context id. Aliases may be registered by calling registerSecurityControllerAlias(String, SecurityController). Subsequently, any call to getSecurityController with that alias id will return the registered security controller. This is useful for mapping generated command security controller ids (which are often a combination of a form id and a command face id) to the actual security controller that should manage the command. This provides a declarative model for linking commands to controllers instead of requiring the subclassing a Form in order to specify the command's security controller id.
