    • getSecurityOwner

      @Nullable OT getSecurityOwner()
      Obtain the security owner of this secured child.

      Secured children should always have an owner in the ACL table, but that relation is not always direct or mapped. A more robust way of checking is to look up the parent via AclObjectIdentity.getParentObject(). If the security owner cannot be determined, the implementation should define a setter so it can be temporarily assigned for creating the ACL identity.

      Specified by:
      getSecurityOwner in interface SecuredChild
      Returns:
      the security owner, or null if not known.
