[jira] Resolved: (JCR-2700) Allow for wildcard restriction in resource-based ACEs

angela resolved JCR-2700.
-------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

the resourcebased access control model has been extended to allow a single "glob" restriction to be added for ACEs,
which works according to the pattern defined by Node#getNodes(String[]) with the following special cases. any other restriction will be used to determine the exact match to the target path.

- no restriction works as before: the ACE takes effect on the complete subtree as it used to be before.
- an empty string restriction forces the ACE to take effect on the node it has been applied.

known limitations:

- the pattern is a simple string value. it isn't namespace sensitive and makes no attempt to convert the any qualified name(fragments)
  to internal name representations. a restriction "*/my:property" will be evaluated literally and will never match a my:property item
  if the corresponding namespace uri gets remapped to some other prefix.

- the current implementation has not yet been optimized... this will be covered by JCR-2573
