Syntax
public abstract boolean addEntry( Principal caller, AclEntry entry ) throws NotOwnerException
Parameters
caller
the principal invoking this method. It must be an owner of this ACL.
entry
the ACL entry to be added to this ACL.
Returns
true on success, false if an entry of the same type (positive or negative) for the same principal is already present in this ACL.
Description
Adds an ACL entry to this ACL. An entry associates a principal (e.g., an individual or a group) with a set of permissions. Each principal can have at most one positive ACL entry (specifying permissions to be granted to the principal) and one negative ACL entry (specifying permissions to be denied). If there is already an ACL entry of the same type (negative or positive) already in the ACL, false is returned.

Exceptions
NotOwnerException if the caller principal is not an owner of this ACL.
