Interface GroupProviderMapper

public interface GroupProviderMapper
Implementations are used to determine what GroupProvider is to be used for a particular group name. Note that the provided group name need not reflect a pre-existing group (the instance might be used to determine in which provider a new group is to be created). Implementation must have a no-argument constructor.

    • getGroupProvider

      GroupProvider getGroupProvider(String groupname)
      Finds a suitable GroupProvider for the group. Note that the provided group name need not reflect a pre-existing group (the instance might be used to determine in which provider a new group is to be created). Implementations are expected to be able to find a GroupProvider for any group name. If an implementation fails to do so, such a failure is assumed to be the result of a problem in implementation or configuration.
      Parameters:
      groupname - A group identifier (cannot be null or empty).
      Returns:
      A GroupProvider for the group (never null).

    • getGroupProviders

      Set<GroupProvider> getGroupProviders()
      Returns all providers that are used by this instance. The returned collection should have a consistent, predictable iteration order.
      Returns:
      all providers (never null).
