Class UnresolvedPrincipal

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.acl.UnresolvedPrincipal
All Implemented Interfaces:
Principal

public final class UnresolvedPrincipal
extends Object
implements Principal

Represents a Principal, typically read from an ACL, that cannot be resolved based on the current state of the user database, group manager, and built-in role definitions. Creating a principal marked "unresolved" allows delayed resolution, which enables principals to be resolved lazily during a later access control check. Conceptuallly, UnresolvedPrincipal performs a function similar to UnresolvedPermission.
