Constructor Detail

BindingPolicyManager

protected BindingPolicyManager(java.lang.Class<?> beanClass)

Create a new instance to handle binding security for the given type.

Parameters:

beanClass - the class to which the binding policy applies

Method Detail

getInstance

public static BindingPolicyManager getInstance(java.lang.Class<?> beanType)

Get the policy manager for the given class. Instances are cached and returned on subsequent calls.

Parameters:

beanType - the class whose policy manager is to be retrieved

Returns:

a policy manager

isBindingAllowed

public boolean isBindingAllowed(PropertyExpressionEvaluation eval)

Indicates if binding is allowed for the given expression.

Parameters:

eval - a property expression that has been evaluated against an ActionBean

Returns:

true if binding is allowed; false if not

getAnnotation

protected StrictBinding getAnnotation(java.lang.Class<?> beanType)

Get the StrictBinding annotation for a class, checking all its superclasses if necessary. If no annotation is found, then one will be returned whose default policy is to allow binding to all properties.

Parameters:

beanType - the class to get the StrictBinding annotation for

Returns:

An annotation. This method never returns null.

getValidatedProperties

protected java.lang.String[] getValidatedProperties(java.lang.Class<?> beanClass)

Get all the properties and nested properties of the given class for which there is a corresponding ValidationMetadata, as returned by ValidationMetadataProvider.getValidationMetadata(Class, ParameterName). The idea here is that if the bean property must be validated, then it is expected that the property may be bound to the bean.

Parameters:

beanClass - a class

Returns:

The validated properties. If no properties are annotated then null.

public StrictBinding.Policy getDefaultPolicy()

Get the default policy.

Returns:

the policy

globToPattern

protected java.util.regex.Pattern globToPattern(java.lang.String... globArray)

Returns:

the pattern
