## org.apache.catalina.deploy
Class SecurityConstraint

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.catalina.deploy.SecurityConstraint

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable

    public class SecurityConstraint

extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Representation of a security constraint element for a web application, as represented in a `<security-constraint>` element in the deployment descriptor.

WARNING: It is assumed that instances of this class will be created and modified only within the context of a single thread, before the instance is made visible to the remainder of the application. After that, only read access is expected. Therefore, none of the read and write access within this class is synchronized.

Constructor Detail

### SecurityConstraint

    public SecurityConstraint()

  Construct a new security constraint instance with default values.

Method Detail

### getAllRoles

    public boolean getAllRoles()

  Was the "all roles" wildcard included in this authentication constraint?

### getAuthConstraint

    public boolean getAuthConstraint()

  Return the authorization constraint present flag for this security constraint.

### setAuthConstraint

    public void setAuthConstraint(boolean authConstraint)

  Set the authorization constraint present flag for this security constraint.

### getDisplayName

    public java.lang.String getDisplayName()

  Return the display name of this security constraint.

### setDisplayName

    public void setDisplayName(java.lang.String displayName)

  Set the display name of this security constraint.

### getUserConstraint

    public java.lang.String getUserConstraint()

  Return the user data constraint for this security constraint.

### setUserConstraint

    public void setUserConstraint(java.lang.String userConstraint)

  Set the user data constraint for this security constraint.

  Parameters:
    `userConstraint` - The new user data constraint

### addAuthRole

    public void addAuthRole(java.lang.String authRole)

  Add an authorization role, which is a role name that will be permitted access to the resources protected by this security constraint.

  Parameters:
    `authRole` - Role name to be added

### addCollection

    public void addCollection(SecurityCollection collection)

  Add a new web resource collection to those protected by this security constraint.

  Parameters:
    `collection` - The new web resource collection

### findAuthRole

    public boolean findAuthRole(java.lang.String role)

  Return `true` if the specified role is permitted access to the resources protected by this security constraint.

  Parameters:
    `role` - Role name to be checked

### findAuthRoles

    public java.lang.String[] findAuthRoles()

  Return the set of roles that are permitted access to the resources protected by this security constraint. If none have been defined, a zero-length array is returned (which implies that all authenticated users are permitted access).

### findCollection

    public SecurityCollection findCollection(java.lang.String name)

  Return the web resource collection for the specified name, if any; otherwise, return `null`.

  Parameters:
    `name` - Web resource collection name to return

### findCollections

    public SecurityCollection[] findCollections()

  Return all of the web resource collections protected by this security constraint. If there are none, a zero-length array is returned.

### included

    public boolean included(java.lang.String uri,
                            java.lang.String method)

  Parameters:
    `uri` - Context-relative URI to check
    `method` - Request method being used

### removeAuthRole

    public void removeAuthRole(java.lang.String authRole)

  Remove the specified role from the set of roles permitted to access the resources protected by this security constraint.

  Parameters:
    `authRole` - Role name to be removed

### removeCollection

    public void removeCollection(SecurityCollection collection)

  Remove the specified web resource collection from those protected by this security constraint.

  Parameters:
    `collection` - Web resource collection to be removed
