| 26 | = For Developers = | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | == Log from a script == | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | A new API to get a SLF4J Logger has been added to the ##logging## script service. | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | {{code language="velocity"}} | ||
| 33 | $services.logging.getLogger('My script').info('Hello {}', 'world') | ||
| 34 | {{/code}} | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | == New contextual authorization manager role == | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | A new role is now available to ease the replacement of the old Right Service (com.xpn.xwiki.user.api.XWikiRightService). | ||
| 39 | Compared to the old service, the component does not manage authentication which should have been ensured previously if needed. (No redirection to login is ever done) | ||
| 40 | The new component has a similar interface to the AuthorizationManager, but it take care of all external context aspects, like the currently executed macro block, the rendering context restrictions, the dropping of rights, etc... | ||
| 41 | This new role should be used from now on by any component that needs to check rights for the current user, in the current context. | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | == New security authorization script service == | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | A new script service is now available to access the default AuthorizationManager and the ContextualAuthorizationManager. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Here is some sample: | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | {{code language="velocity"}} | ||
| 50 | #if ($services.security.authorization.hasAccess("edit")) | ||
| 51 | ... show some UI that require edit access on the current document by the current user ... | ||
| 52 | #end | ||
| 53 | #if ($services.security.authorization.hasAccess("edit", "xwiki:Sandbox.TestPage1") | ||
| 54 | ... show some UI that require edit access on Sandbox.TestPage1 document by the current user ... | ||
| 55 | #end | ||
| 56 | #if ($services.security.authorization.hasAccess("edit", "xwiki:XWiki.User1", "xwiki:Sandbox.TestPage1") | ||
| 57 | ... show some UI that require edit access on Sandbox.TestPage1 document by XWiki.User1 ... | ||
| 58 | #end | ||
| 59 | {{/code}} | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | {{code language="velocity"}} | ||
| 62 | $services.security.authorization.checkAccess("edit") | ||
| 63 | ... do some task that require edit access ... | ||
| 64 | {{/code}} | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | In this second sample, the macro will fail with an AccessDeniedException if the right is not allowed. | ||
| 67 | |||

| 81 | |||
| 82 | == Miscellaneous == | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | * The [[Mail Sender API>>extensions:Extension.Mail Sender API]] now allows creating ##MimeMessageFactory## to generate pre-filled MimeMessage. Example of usage:((( | ||
| 85 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 86 | #set ($message = $services.mailsender.createMessage("template", documentReference, to)) | ||
| 87 | #set ($message = $services.mailsender.createMessage("template", documentReference, from, to)) | ||
| 88 | {{/code}} | ||
