public boolean isActionAuthorized(Component component,
                                  Action action)

Description copied from interface: IAuthorizationStrategy

Gets whether the given action is permitted. If it is, this method should return true. If it isn't, this method should either return false or - in case of a serious breach - throw a security exception. Returning is generally preferable over throwing an exception as that doesn't break the normal flow.

Specified by:

isActionAuthorized in interface IAuthorizationStrategy

Overrides:

isActionAuthorized in class IAuthorizationStrategy.AllowAllAuthorizationStrategy

Parameters:

component - The component to be acted upon

action - The action to authorize on the component

Returns:

Whether the given action may be taken on the given component
