Archly is a project for creating a hierarchy-based access control list (ACL).

This project is inspired by CakePHP's Access Control Lists

The Java implementation of this ACL library is under the java folder.

The library functions are exposed via the Acl.java class.

The ACL manages access to resources (also known as Access Control Objects) by users and roles (aka. Access Request Objects).

Any class may be tagged as an Access Request Object (ARO) or an Access Control Object (ACO) by implementing the RegistryEntry interface.
