    • delete

      public void delete(Group group) throws WikiSecurityException
      Looks up and deletes a Group from the group database. If the group database does not contain the supplied Group. this method throws a NoSuchPrincipalException. The method commits the results of the delete to persistent storage.
      Specified by:
      delete in interface GroupDatabase
      Parameters:
      group - the group to remove
      Throws:
      WikiSecurityException - if the database does not contain the supplied group (thrown as NoSuchPrincipalException) or if the commit did not succeed

    • groups

      public Group[] groups() throws WikiSecurityException
      Returns all wiki groups that are stored in the GroupDatabase as an array of Group objects. If the database does not contain any groups, this method will return a zero-length array. This method causes back-end storage to load the entire set of group; thus, it should be called infrequently (e.g., at initialization time).
      Specified by:
      groups in interface GroupDatabase
      Returns:
      the wiki groups
      Throws:
      WikiSecurityException - if the groups cannot be returned by the back-end

    • initialize

      public void initialize(org.apache.wiki.api.core.Engine engine, Properties props) throws org.apache.wiki.api.exceptions.NoRequiredPropertyException, WikiSecurityException
      Initializes the group database based on values from a Properties object. The properties object must contain a file path to the XML database file whose key is PROP_DATABASE.
      Specified by:
      initialize in interface GroupDatabase
      Parameters:
      engine - the wiki engine
      props - the properties used to initialize the group database
      Throws:
      org.apache.wiki.api.exceptions.NoRequiredPropertyException - if the user database cannot be located, parsed, or opened
      WikiSecurityException - if the database could not be initialized successfully

    • save

      public void save(Group group, Principal modifier) throws WikiSecurityException
      Saves a Group to the group database. Note that this method must fail, and throw an IllegalArgumentException, if the proposed group is the same name as one of the built-in Roles: e.g., Admin, Authenticated, etc. The database is responsible for setting create/modify timestamps, upon a successful save, to the Group. The method commits the results of the delete to persistent storage.
      Specified by:
      save in interface GroupDatabase
      Parameters:
      group - the Group to save
      modifier - the user who saved the Group
      Throws:
