Configuration-based code construct for restriction checks in component of a web application

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device to perform steps of:

• intercepting activation of a lifecycle hook of a component of a web application, the lifecycle hook of the component of the web application being associated with a configuration-based code construct specifying one or more restriction checks;
• performing the one or more restriction checks specified in the configuration-based code construct associated with the lifecycle hook of the component of the web application;
• modifying the component of the web application based at least in part on results of performing the one or more restriction checks specified in the configuration-based code construct associated with the lifecycle hook of the component of the web application;
• and
• activating the lifecycle hook with the modified component of the web application;
• wherein the configuration-based code construct comprises one or more restriction identifiers specifying one or more actions to be taken to modify the component of the web application responsive to the one or more restriction checks, at least a given one of the one or more restriction identifiers being configured to control selection among a set of two or more potential modification actions based at least in part on available access rights for a user executing the web application.

A method comprising steps of:

• intercepting activation of a lifecycle hook of a component of a web application, the lifecycle hook of the component of the web application being associated with a configuration-based code construct specifying one or more restriction checks;
• performing the one or more restriction checks specified in the configuration-based code construct associated with the lifecycle hook of the component of the web application;
• modifying the component of the web application based at least in part on results of performing the one or more restriction checks specified in the configuration-based code construct associated with the lifecycle hook of the component of the web application;
• and
• activating the lifecycle hook with the modified component of the web application;
• wherein the configuration-based code construct comprises one or more restriction identifiers specifying one or more actions to be taken to modify the component of the web application responsive to the one or more restriction checks, at least a given one of the one or more restriction identifiers being configured to control selection among a set of two or more potential modification actions based at least in part on available access rights for a user executing the web application;
• and
• wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
