Method Detail

isAssignableFrom

public static boolean isAssignableFrom(Class<?> assignableClass,
                                       Class<?> objectClass)

Checks whether the given class parameter is assignable from the given object class parameter

Parameters:

assignableClass - class to use for assignable to

objectClass - class to use for assignable from

Returns:

true if the object class is of type assignable class, false if not

empty

public static boolean empty(Object value)

Checks whether the given value is null or blank string

Parameters:

value - property value to check

Returns:

true if value is null or blank, false if not

emptyList

public static boolean emptyList(List<?> list)

Checks to see if the list is empty. Throws a RuntimeException if list is not a List.

Parameters:

list - the list

Returns:

true if the list is null or empty, false otherwise

listContains

public static boolean listContains(List<?> list,
                                   Object[] values)

Check to see if the list contains the values passed in.

In the SpringEL call values can be single item or array due to the way the EL converts values. The values can be string or numeric and should match the content type being stored in the list. If the list is String and the values passed in are not string, toString() conversion will be used. Returns true if the values are in the list and both lists are non-empty, false otherwise.

Parameters:

list - the list to be evaluated

values - the values to be to check for in the list

Returns:

true if all values exist in the list and both values and list are non-null/not-empty, false otherwise

getName

public static String getName(Class<?> clazz)

Returns the name for the given class

Parameters:

clazz - class object to return name for

Returns:

class name or empty string if class is null

getParam

public static String getParam(String namespaceCode,
                              String componentCode,
                              String parameterName)

Retrieves the value of the parameter identified with the given namespace, component, and name

Parameters:

namespaceCode - namespace code for the parameter to retrieve

componentCode - component code for the parameter to retrieve

parameterName - name of the parameter to retrieve

Returns:

String value of parameter as a string or null if parameter does not exist

getParamAsBoolean

public static Boolean getParamAsBoolean(String namespaceCode,
                                        String componentCode,
                                        String parameterName)

Retrieves the value of the parameter identified with the given namespace, component, and name and converts to a Boolean

Parameters:

namespaceCode - namespace code for the parameter to retrieve

componentCode - component code for the parameter to retrieve

parameterName - name of the parameter to retrieve

Returns:

Boolean value of parameter as a boolean or null if parameter does not exist

hasPerm

public static boolean hasPerm(String namespaceCode,
                              String permissionName)

Indicates whether the current user has the permission identified by the given namespace and permission name

Parameters:

namespaceCode - namespace code for the permission to check

permissionName - name of the permission to check

Returns:

true if the current user has the permission, false if not or the permission does not exist

hasPermDtls

public static boolean hasPermDtls(String namespaceCode,
                                  String permissionName,
                                  Map<String,String> permissionDetails,
                                  Map<String,String> roleQualifiers)

Indicates whether the current user has the permission identified by the given namespace and permission name and with the given details and role qualification

Parameters:

namespaceCode - namespace code for the permission to check

permissionName - name of the permission to check

permissionDetails - details for the permission check

roleQualifiers - qualification for assigned roles

Returns:

true if the current user has the permission, false if not or the permission does not exist

hasPermTmpl

public static boolean hasPermTmpl(String namespaceCode,
                                  String templateName,
                                  Map<String,String> permissionDetails,
                                  Map<String,String> roleQualifiers)
