Core Service: generic property handling methods

[jri]

Currently the Core Service's property handling methods are aimed at Access Control information.
Other plugins want store properties too, e.g. a Time plugin want store/fetch time stamps.

[jri]

The DeepaMehta Core service provides 3 new methods for handling generic properties:

• getProperty()
• setProperty()
• hasProperty()

AccessControl? service:

• getACL() is new method

BREAKING CHANGES

DeepaMehta Core service:

• 6 methods are dropped:
  • getACL()
  • setACL()
  • getCreator()
  • setCreator()
  • getOwner()
  • setOwner()
  Use the AccessControl? service instead

AccessControl?:

• 4 classes have moved from package de.deepamehta.core.service.accesscontrol to

de.deepamehta.plugins.accesscontrol.model:

• AccessControlList?
• ACLEntry
• Operation
• UserRole?

You must adapt your imports.

We also need removeProperty() methods.
These would be required when a migration want to rename a property.

[jri]

Core API: add removeProperty() methods (#472).

The Core service has 2 new methods:

• void removeTopicProperty(long topicId, String propUri)
• void removeAssociationProperty(long assocId, String propUri)

See #472.

The property API should be polished. The topic/association related property methods (get, set, has, remove) should be polymorph and move to the DeepaMehtaObject? base class.

[jri]

Core: property API is polymorph (#472).

BREAKING CHANGE

The topic/association related property methods (get, set, has, remove) are polymorph. They are removed from the Core Service API and located now in the DeepaMehtaObject? base class.

DeepaMehtaObject?:

• Object getProperty(String propUri);
• void setProperty(String propUri, Object propValue, boolean addToIndex);
• boolean hasProperty(String propUri);
• void removeProperty(String propUri);

See #472.

String getOwner(DeepaMehtaObject? object);
void setOwner(DeepaMehtaObject? object, String username);

void setACL(DeepaMehtaObject? object, AccessControlList? acl);
