Defining Actions in the actions.xml
File 
Use
You have now included permission checks in your application to check if a user has the authorization to view reservations or to maintain a reservation for a specific vehicle type. To perform these activities, the user must have the appropriate permissions assigned in his or her user account.
To make the administration of these permission assignments easier, you will group individual permissions together in actions that the administrator will assign to the user’s roles. To specify these groups of permissions in corresponding actions, create a file with the name actions.xml. You will create this file in a Development Component (DC) project in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
The actions.xml file that you create for this tutorial will contain the following actions:
· AccessQuickCarRental
Users that are assigned to roles containing this action will be able to access the quick car rental JSP application. There is no differentiation between the car types and no maintenance permissions are provided. The corresponding permissions are checked in the JSP application using the QuickReservationPermission class.
· ViewReservations
Users that are assigned to roles containing this action will be able to view reservations. The corresponding permissions are checked in the EJB methods using the QuickReservationEjbPermission class.
· MaintainStandard
Users that are assigned to roles containing this action will be able to maintain standard vehicle types (economy, compact, intermediate, full size, and mini van). The permissions are also checked in the EJB methods using the QuickReservationEjbPermission class.
· MaintainPremium
Users that are assigned to roles containing this action are also able to maintain the premium and luxury vehicle types. The corresponding permissions are also checked in the EJB methods using the QuickReservationEjbPermission class.
