Description

Summary

The AclPermissionEvaluator could support String[] or Integer[] for the permissions passed in. This would be helpful for me with a custom annotation that I am using.

If this seems like something that would be useful/wanted, I would be more than happy to open a PR for it!

Actual Behavior

resolvePermission checks the type of the permissions passed in - it looks for Integer, Permission, Permission[], or String inputs, and returns a list of Permissions.

Expected Behavior

resolvePermission could also check for Integer[] and String[]. This is made doubly easy by the fact that PermissionFactory has the method buildFromNames(List<String> names) which returns a List<Permission>

Research direction

Start with acl/src/main/java/org/springframework/security/acls/AclPermissionEvaluator.java and inspect resolvePermission's existing Integer, Permission, Permission[], and String handling. Done means String[] and Integer[] inputs are accepted and converted to the returned Permission list, consistently with PermissionFactory.buildFromNames(List).
