Method Detail

### createEntitlementRequest

    public static com.bea.p13n.entitlements.common.EntitlementRequest createEntitlementRequest(HttpServletRequest anHttpRequest)
                                                                                        throws com.bea.p13n.entitlements.common.EntitlementsException

  Creates an EntitlementRequest and caches it on the HttpRequest, or returns the currently cached EntitlementRequest. The EntitlementRequest contains the set of objects that expression-based role evaluation uses as input.

  Parameters
    `anHttpRequest` - The current Http request
  Returns
    a new `EntitlementRequest` instance.
  Throws
    `EntitlementsException` - if an error occurrs during creation of an `EntitlementRequest`.

### createP13nContextHandler

    public static P13nContextHandler createP13nContextHandler(com.bea.p13n.entitlements.common.EntitlementRequest entRequest)

  Returns a `P13nContextHandler` for the current user.

  Returns
    a P13nContextHandler for the current user.

### createP13nContextHandler

    public static P13nContextHandler createP13nContextHandler(String aWebAppName)

  Returns a `P13nContextHandler` for the current user, based on a ProfileWrapper, only. This method allows creation of the context handler without an HttpRequest. However, the evaluation of expression-based roles based on such a context can only include profile-based attributes. That is, no time/date, request, or session-based attributes can exist in the role expression. If the current user is not authenticated, an anonymous profile will be used.

  Parameters
    `aWebAppName` - The webapp name of the caller. If no webapp-scoped roles are in-scope for the calling application, this field may be null.
  Returns
    a P13nContextHandler for the current user.

### getP13nContextHandler

    public static P13nContextHandler getP13nContextHandler(HttpServletRequest anHttpRequest)
                                                    throws com.bea.p13n.entitlements.common.EntitlementsException

  Returns the current `P13nContextHandler` associated with an `HttpServletRequest`.

  Parameters
    `anHttpRequest` - The Http request
  Returns
    An existing `P13nContextHandler`, else creates a new one..
  Throws
    `com.bea.p13n.entitlements.common.EntitlementsException`

### getEntitlementRequest

    public static com.bea.p13n.entitlements.common.EntitlementRequest getEntitlementRequest(HttpServletRequest anHttpRequest)

  Returns the current `EntitlementRequest` associated with an `HttpServletRequest`.

  Parameters
    `anHttpRequest` - The Http request
  Returns
    An existing `EntitlementRequest`, else creates a new one.

### getP13nRequest

    public static Request getP13nRequest(HttpServletRequest anHttpRequest)

  Returns the P13n `Request` associated with an `HttpServletRequest`

  Parameters
    `anHttpRequest` - The Http request
  Returns
    The associated `Request`

### setContextAttribute

    public static void setContextAttribute(HttpServletRequest request,
                                           int scope,
                                           String attrName,
                                           Object attrValue)
