DatabaseContext :: protectAction - Protect action

Actions may be protected globally or within a certain context class (by passing the context class name). Protected actions are checked for permission (permitted()) before being executed. Since permission checks depend on the application, the permitted() function has to be overloaded by the application.

Implementation overview

Protect action globally
DatabaseContext :: protectAction ( sActionName )
Protect action in a specific context
DatabaseContext :: protectAction ( sActionName, sTypeName )

Implementation details

Protect action globally
DatabaseContext :: protectAction ( odaba::String &sActionName )

When an action has been protected globally, those are checked regardless on the context in which those are called. Usually, actions are protected globally by using unique action names.
- sActionName - Action name
  The action name is a name of an action implemented in the context class related to the database source or implemented as default action. Actions can be implemented as expressions, as C++ functions or as .NET function.
  
  In order to pass no action name, an empty string ( String() ) may be passed.

Protect action in a specific context
DatabaseContext :: protectAction ( odaba::String &sActionName, odaba::String &sTypeName )

An action may be protected in a specific context by passing the context class name in addition to the action name (e.g. sPerson (type context class for Person) in order to protect instance actions for a Person).
- sActionName - Action name
  The action name is a name of an action implemented in the context class related to the database source or implemented as default action. Actions can be implemented as expressions, as C++ functions or as .NET function.
  
  In order to pass no action name, an empty string ( String() ) may be passed.
- sTypeName - Type name
  The type name is the name of a data type (usually) defined in the database. The type name might be passed as simple identifier or as scoped name with preceding namespace names separated by double colon '::'.
  
  In order to pass no type name, an empty string ( String() ) may be passed.
