/**
 * <p>Given a domain object instance passed as a method argument, ensures the principal has appropriate permission
 * as defined by the {@link AclManager}.</p>
 *  <p>The <code>AclManager</code> is used to retrieve the access control list (ACL) permissions associated with a
 * domain object instance for the current <code>Authentication</code> object. This class is designed to process {@link
 * AclEntry}s that are subclasses of {@link org.acegisecurity.acl.basic.BasicAclEntry} only. Generally these are
 * obtained by using the {@link org.acegisecurity.acl.basic.BasicAclProvider}.</p>
 *  <p>The voter will vote if any  {@link ConfigAttribute#getAttribute()} matches the {@link
 * #processConfigAttribute}. The provider will then locate the first method argument of type {@link
 * #processDomainObjectClass}. Assuming that method argument is non-null, the provider will then lookup the ACLs from
 * the <code>AclManager</code> and ensure the principal is {@link
 * org.acegisecurity.acl.basic.BasicAclEntry#isPermitted(int)} for at least one of the {@link #requirePermission}s.</p>
 *  <p>If the method argument is <code>null</code>, the voter will abstain from voting. If the method argument
 * could not be found, an {@link org.acegisecurity.AuthorizationServiceException} will be thrown.</p>
 *  <p>In practical terms users will typically setup a number of <code>BasicAclEntryVoter</code>s. Each will have a
 * different {@link #processDomainObjectClass}, {@link #processConfigAttribute} and {@link #requirePermission}
 * combination. For example, a small application might employ the following instances of
 * <code>BasicAclEntryVoter</code>:
 *  <ul>
 *      <li>Process domain object class <code>BankAccount</code>, configuration attribute
 *      <code>VOTE_ACL_BANK_ACCONT_READ</code>, require permission <code>SimpleAclEntry.READ</code></li>
 *      <li>Process domain object class <code>BankAccount</code>, configuration attribute
 *      <code>VOTE_ACL_BANK_ACCOUNT_WRITE</code>, require permission list <code>SimpleAclEntry.WRITE</code> and
 *      <code>SimpleAclEntry.CREATE</code> (allowing the principal to have <b>either</b> of these two permissions</li>
 *      <li>Process domain object class <code>Customer</code>, configuration attribute
 *      <code>VOTE_ACL_CUSTOMER_READ</code>, require permission <code>SimpleAclEntry.READ</code></li>
 *      <li>Process domain object class <code>Customer</code>, configuration attribute
 *      <code>VOTE_ACL_CUSTOMER_WRITE</code>, require permission list <code>SimpleAclEntry.WRITE</code> and
 *      <code>SimpleAclEntry.CREATE</code></li>
 *  </ul>
 *  Alternatively, you could have used a common superclass or interface for the {@link #processDomainObjectClass}
 * if both <code>BankAccount</code> and <code>Customer</code> had common parents.</p>
 *  <p>If the principal does not have sufficient permissions, the voter will vote to deny access.</p>
 *  <p>The <code>AclManager</code> is allowed to return any implementations of <code>AclEntry</code> it wishes.
 * However, this provider will only be able to validate against <code>AbstractBasicAclEntry</code>s, and thus a vote
 * to deny access will be made if no <code>AclEntry</code> is of type <code>AbstractBasicAclEntry</code>.</p>
 *  <p>All comparisons and prefixes are case sensitive.</p>
