Description Ryan Bloom 2004-08-04 16:18:20 UTC
Currently, the role labels are static strings in the DB and in the
Role class.  This means that whenever we modify the list of possible
roles, we have to update 2 locations to reflect that change.  The DB
is the authoritative list of roles, the Roles class should load the
possible roles from the DB.

For an example, OrgFactory gets the list of entitlement labels from
the DB.

Comment 1 Ryan Bloom 2004-10-28 20:31:10 UTC
This isn't a bug.  We need to have some way to reference the Roles
that are stored in the DB.  Either that is with static strings used to
do a lookup, or with static objects retreived from the DB.  Either
way, when you add a role to the DB, you will need to also add a line
of code to add that concept to the Java code.  This isn't a big burden
and it is unavoidable, so I am closing this bug.
