RE: rundata.getACL() returns null for logged-in user withroles/permissions

Thanks Mark, that worked fine.  I'll submit a bug.

Woody,

I think that I ran into this before and I still don't know why
rundata's ACL
is null. Feel free to submit this as a bug (perhaps then it will get
looked
at). Here's some code to get user permissions:

    Hashtable permSet = new Hashtable(); // use whatever container you
like
here
    Iterator roles =
JetspeedSecurity.getRoles(data.getUser().getUserName());
    while (roles.hasNext()) {
        Iterator perms =
JetspeedSecurity.getPermissions(((Role)roles.next()).getName());
        while (perms.hasNext()) {
            try {
                String perm = ((Permission)perms.next()).getName();
                if (!permSet.containsKey(perm)) {
                    permSet.put(perm, "");
                }
            } catch (Exception e1) {
            }
        }
    }

In the end, permSet will contain unique set of user permission names.
Hope
this helps.
