. It's located in the portal-impl.jar file. If you need the sources e.g. for debugging you should download and extract the sources zip file available in the downloads section.

Hi Bart...I finally managed to find the class by importing the .jar.

However, I have some troubles understanding "pass the current permission checker from jsp". Where should I take the permissionchecker?

Thanks

Okay, I found out that I can take that from themeDisplay.

However, the function returns void, so how can i understand if the user has permission or not?

I found out that there is also this function I can use:

PermissionLocalServiceUtil.hasUserPermissions(user.getUserId(), groupId, actionId, resourceIds, bag)

But I don't understand what bag is.

Helppp

Hi, Luca.

Although function JournalArticlePermission#check(PermissionChecker permissionChecker, JournalArticle article, String actionId) returns void, it also throws PrincipalException if user has no permissions to perform specified action on article (for example to view the article if actionId=ActionKeys.VIEW). So, you can just handle this exception:

1try {
2 JournalArticlePermission.check(permissionChecker, article, String ActionKeys.VIEW)
3} catch(PrincipalException e) {
4//user has no permissions - handle exception in this case
5}
