Class PagePermission

java.lang.Object
java.security.Permission
org.apache.wiki.auth.permissions.PagePermission
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Guard
public final class PagePermission extends Permission implements Serializable

Permission to perform an operation on a single page or collection of pages in a given wiki. Permission actions include: view,  edit (edit the text of a wiki page), comment,  upload, modify (edit text and upload attachments), delete  and rename.

The target of a permission is a single page or collection in a given wiki. The syntax for the target is the wiki name, followed by a colon (:) and the name of the page. "All wikis" can be specified using a wildcard (*). Page collections may also be specified using a wildcard. For pages, the wildcard may be a prefix, suffix, or all by itself. Examples of targets include:

*:*
*:JanneJalkanen
*:Jalkanen
*:Janne*
mywiki:JanneJalkanen
mywiki:*Jalkanen
mywiki:Janne*

For a given target, certain permissions imply others:

  • delete and rename imply edit
  • modify implies edit and upload
  • edit implies comment and view
  • comment and upload imply view
    • Targets that do not include a wiki prefix never imply others.

    • implies

      public boolean implies(Permission permission)

      PagePermission can only imply other PagePermissions; no other permission types are implied. One PagePermission implies another if its actions if three conditions are met:

      1. The other PagePermission's wiki is equal to, or a subset of, that of this permission. This permission's wiki is considered a superset of the other if it contains a matching prefix plus a wildcard, or a wildcard followed by a matching suffix.
      2. The other PagePermission's target is equal to, or a subset of, the target specified by this permission. This permission's target is considered a superset of the other if it contains a matching prefix plus a wildcard, or a wildcard followed by a matching suffix.
      3. All of other PagePermission's actions are equal to, or a subset of, those of this permission
      Specified by:
