Great idea, addresses the "modernization" of the EE Security API!
Another functional interface we have proposed is
public interface AccessDecisionVoter {
boolean checkPermission(InvocationContext context);
}
Perhaps we could add some methods on SecurityContext that take lambdas
to evaluate an AccessDecisionVoter.
For example:
@Inject
SecurityContext ctx;
ctx.checkAccess(i -> schedule.isOfficeHrs())
Just thought,
