Package dekoh.portal.fwk.share Description

Provides the classes that help Dekoh applications in implementing access control at finer level of DigitalObjects. One or more DioCollections are shared with other Dekoh users in the network by creating Share object.
ShareFilter is a HttpServletFilter which determines if the request is being made by the owner or a buddy.
If the request is made by the owner, then ShareFilter sets up access controls such that any operations (create, read, update, delete) can be performed on the content.
If the request is known to be made by the buddy then ShareFilter sets up Access Controls such that buddy can only view the shared content and besides posting a comment, cannot modify the database of DigitalObjects in anyway.
Before content managed by Dekoh application can be accessed, the Dekoh application itself must be shared. Consult methods on ShareService to see how application is shared.
