Class WikiPrincipal

java.lang.Object

org.apache.wiki.auth.WikiPrincipal

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<java.security.Principal>, java.security.Principal

public final class WikiPrincipal
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.security.Principal, java.lang.Comparable<java.security.Principal>, java.io.Serializable

A lightweight, immutable Principal class. WikiPrincipals can be created with and optional "type" to denote what type of user profile Principal it represents (FULL_NAME, WIKI_NAME, LOGIN_NAME). Types are used to determine suitable user and login Principals in classes like Session. However, the type property of a WikiPrincipal does not affect a WikiPrincipal's logical equality or hash code; two WikiPrincipals with the same name but different types are still considered equal.

2.2

Constructor Detail

WikiPrincipal

public WikiPrincipal(java.lang.String name)

Constructs a new WikiPrincipal with a given name and a type of UNSPECIFIED.

Parameters:

name - the name of the Principal

WikiPrincipal

public WikiPrincipal(java.lang.String name,
                     java.lang.String type)

Specified by:

getName in interface java.security.Principal

Returns:

the name

equals

Two WikiPrincipals are considered equal if their names are equal (case-sensitive).

Specified by:

equals in interface java.security.Principal

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare

Returns:

the result of the equality test

hashCode

the string representation

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.security.Principal o)
