org.apache.shiro.authz.permission.PermissionResolver

A {@code PermisisonResolver} resolves a String value and converts it into a{@link org.apache.shiro.authz.Permission Permission} instance.

The default {@link WildcardPermissionResolver} should besuitable for most purposes, which constructs {@link WildcardPermission} objects.However, any resolver may be configured if an application wishes to use different {@link org.apache.shiro.authz.Permission} implementations.

A {@code PermissionResolver} is used by many Shiro components such as annotations, property fileconfiguration, URL configuration, etc. It is useful whenever a String representation of a permission is specified and that String needs to be converted to a Permission instance before executing a security check.

Shiro chooses to support {@link WildcardPermission Wildcardpermission}s by default in almost all components and we do that in the form of the {@link WildcardPermissionResolver WildcardPermissionResolver}. One of the nice things about {@code WildcardPermission}s being supported by default is that it makes it very easy to store complex permissions in the database - and also makes it very easy to represent permissions in JSP files, annotations, etc., where a simple string representation is useful.

Although this happens to be the Shiro default, you are of course free to provide custom String-to-Permission conversion by providing Shiro components any instance of this interface. @author Jeremy Haile @author Les Hazlewood @see org.apache.shiro.authz.ModularRealmAuthorizer#setPermissionResolver(PermissionResolver) ModularRealmAuthorizer.setPermissionResolver @see org.apache.shiro.realm.AuthorizingRealm#setPermissionResolver(PermissionResolver) AuthorizingRealm.setPermissionResolver @see PermissionResolverAware PermissionResolverAware @since 0.9
