Interface Resource

All Known Implementing Classes:
Resources, ResourceUtil
public interface Resource

Resources are entities for which a user or a group is authorized. Examples of resources are applications, process-definitions, process-instances, tasks ...

A resource has a type and an id. The type (#setResource(String)) allows to group all resources of the same kind. A resource id is the identifier of an individual resource instance (#setResourceId(String)). For example: the resource type could be "processDefinition" and the resource-id could be the id of an individual process definition.

See Resources for a set of built-in resource constants.
