Adds an owner. Only owners can modify ACL contents. The caller principal must be an owner of the ACL in order to invoke this method; that is, only an owner can add another owner. The initial owner is configured when the ACL is constructed.

Parameters:

caller - Principal that is an owner of the ACL

principal - Principal that should be added to the list of owners

Returns:

true if successful, false if owner is already an owner.

                           LastOwnerException

Deprecated. 

Deletes an owner. If this is the last owner in the ACL, an exception is raised, since an ACL must have at least one owner. The method returns true if the operation is successful, false if the proposed owner to be deleted is not found in the list of owners.

The caller principal must be an owner of the ACL to invoke this method.
