Interface Owner
- Acl
This interface provides a mechanism for maintaining a list of owners
of an access control list (ACL). Since a Principal must
be an owner in order to modify the owner list, a mechanism must be
provided to specify the initial owner of the ACL. The proper way to do
this is for the implementing class to specify the initial owner in
the contructor for that class.
boolean | addOwner(Principal caller, Principal owner)- This method adds an owner to the access control list (ACL).
|
boolean | deleteOwner(Principal caller, Principal owner)- This method delets an owner from the access control list (ACL).
|
boolean | isOwner(Principal owner)- This method tests whether or not a given
Principal is an
owner of this access control list (ACL).
