Interface GateKeeper

All Known Implementing Classes:

DownloadGateKeeper

public interface GateKeeper

Manages the granting of temporary permissions to retrieve resources. It is assumed that all resources managed by a GateKeeper are restricted, with permission being granted for particular users to particular resources. Resources are identified by a path (usually relative to some directory or URI root), the meaning of the path is implementation-dependent.

Implementations of this interface are responsible for expiring permissions after some reasonable time period

The interface was written to manage access to Confluence's temp directory, from which exports and backups can only be downloaded by the user who created them.
