Check PCD object permissions

Question

Hi,
I am trying to check the PCD object permission for the logged in user with minimal performance impact.
I am using below code. This doesn't seem to work and "hasPermissions" always returns "false". Can someone tell me the problem with below code?
IUserFactory userFactory= UMFactory.getUserFactory();
IAclManager manager = UMFactory.getAclManager();
boolean hasPermission = manager.isAllowed("pcd:portal_content/ABC/XYZ/ROLE/TESTROLE", request.getUser(), IPermission.PCM_ADMIN_READ);
I tried another approach as well. This one did return "true" (expected result) but the issue is we have to lookup the object everytime. This might cause performance issues when checking permissions for many objects.
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put("com.sap.portal.jndi.requested_aspect", PcmConstants.ASPECT_ADMINISTRATION);
InitialContext iCtx = null;
try {
    String objectName = "pcd:portal_content/ABC/XYZ/ROLE/TESTROLE";
    iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
    IAdminBase myAdmin =(IAdminBase)iCtx.lookup(objectName);
    IPermission myIview = (IPermission) myAdmin.getImplementation(IAdminBase.PERMISSION);
    hasPermission = myIview.isAllowed(request.getUser(),IPermission.PCM_ADMIN_READ);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();

Hi,
If onlly certain pcd objects are locked which are used by other users parallely or if some one opened the object and not closed properly  then  you can go to the above path as suggested and unlock the objects.
If that is not the case then below threads will help you.
