Some people faced the same problem than me: they wanted something like the “access controlled sections” in plain old LN development.

None of the articles quite well didn’t explain how to set those ACLs dynamically..
I also tried to get set READER or EDITOR via something like:
return (condition to check) ? “READER” : “EDITOR”
but it wouldn’t work, especially not if in the condition the currentDocument was used. So what next?
I tried with a Bean, and it worked very smoothly. I put the code into the Bean constructor, the bean itself is a request scope bean, as (for whatever reason) I could not get view scope beans to work:
UIPanelEx panel = null;
ACL acl = new ACL();
ACLEntry aclEntry = new ACLEntry();
if (!(dominoDoc.getValue(“wfCurrentState”).equals(“1”) || dominoDoc.getValue(“wfCurrentState”).equals(“5”))) {
aclEntry.setRight(“READER”);
aclEntry.setType(“DEFAULT”);
aclEntry.setFullName(“*”);
acl.addEntry(aclEntry);
panel = (UIPanelEx) JSFConnector.findComponent(“panelRequestor”);
panel.setAcl(acl);
panel = (UIPanelEx) JSFConnector.findComponent(“panelDetails”);
panel.setAcl(acl);
panel = (UIPanelEx) JSFConnector.findComponent(“panelApprover”);
panel.setAcl(acl);
}
dominoDoc is the document source and the code prevents a few panels from being edited in all but in 2 workflow states (1, 5)
Neat!
