role permission checking using Security.hasRolePermission

[Anil Patel <to...@gmail.com>]

Hi
The method defined in Security.hasRolePermission and its implementation in
OfBizSecutiry class provides useful service that we can use in
implementation of new Service Security implementation. Like we have
if-has-permission tag mini-lang, I am wondering if it be useful to have
if-has-role-permission tag, or its recommended to just call Java method from
mini-land code.

Any Ideas?

Regards
Anil Patel

Anil,

My opinion on those methods is not good. My take on them is that they  
were a bit of an over-simplification of what usually ends up being a  
lot more complex. So, no, I'd rather not perpetuate this.

I recommend starting with the pattern used in the  
ProductServices.xml#checkProductRelatedPermission method, and then  
perhaps based on that and preferably a number of other examples of  
"real-world" use design an operation that will be certain to slim  
down the code and make our lives easier and happier.
