Returns:

the canonical string representation of the actions.

implies

public boolean implies(Permission permission)

Checks if this CardPermission object implies the specified permission. That is the case, if and only if

• permission is an instance of CardPermission,

• permission's actions are a proper subset of this object's actions, and

• this object's getName() method is either * or equal to permission's name.

Specified by:

implies in class Permission

Parameters:

permission - the permission to check against

Returns:

true if and only if this CardPermission object implies the specified permission.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares the specified object with this CardPermission for equality. This CardPermission is equal to another Object object, if and only if

• object is an instance of CardPermission,

• this.getName() is equal to ((CardPermission)object).getName(), and

• this.getActions() is equal to ((CardPermission)object).getActions().

Specified by:

equals in class Permission

Parameters:

obj - the object to be compared for equality with this CardPermission

Returns:

true if and only if the specified object is equal to this CardPermission

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this CardPermission object.

Specified by:

hashCode in class Permission

Returns:

the hash code value for this CardPermission object.
