Method Detail

getContentMapping

ContentMapping getContentMapping()

Returns the disambiguated content mapping responsible for the best match, or null if no such mapping exists.

getCandidateContentMappings

java.util.List<ContentMapping> getCandidateContentMappings()

If there are multiple best matches, this method returns the list of all best matching content mappings. If there is only one best match or no matches at all, this method returns null.

requiresAuthentication

boolean requiresAuthentication()

Checks if the current user should be challenged to log-in to portal.

Returns:

true if and only if the following conditions hold true:

• The user is not yet authenticated
• The longest patch match did not return a result (i.e. calling getContentMapping() returns null).
• The longest patch match may return a non-empty result for the user after login (i.e. there actually are matching portal resources but the anonymous user is not authorized to see those).
