Interface Authorizable<T extends Serializable>

All Superinterfaces:

Identifiable<T>, Nameable, Named<T>, Serializable

public interface Authorizable<T extends Serializable>
extends Named<T>

If a Application want's to authorize a domain object to several Roles, the domain-object needs to implement Authorizable.
The Roles provided by the Application can be obtained by calling Application.getRoles(). Since the Roles are maintained by appNG and not by the Application itself, the Authorizable just needs to maintain the IDs of the authorized Roles.
When using JPA for persisting domain objects, this can easily be done by using a javax.persistence.ElementCollection.

 @ElementCollection
 public List<Integer> getRoleIds() {
        return roleIds;
 }
