the setting, in the access permission document, the forwarding permission of the forwarding sender further comprises:

setting XDM resource to which the forwarding sender has the forwarding permission, and setting received XDM resource of the forwarding recipient, wherein the received XDM resource comprises a part of the XDM resource or the whole XDM resource to which the forwarding sender has the forwarding permission.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein

the judging, according to the access permission document, whether the forwarding sender has the forwarding permission to the XDM resource and whether the forwarding recipient has the access permission to the XDM resource further comprises:

acquiring, from the access permission document, the access permission of the forwarding sender to the XDM resource, and judging whether the forwarding sender has the forwarding permission to the XDM resource.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

setting the XDM resource to which the forwarding sender has the forwarding permission and setting the XDM resource to which the forwarding recipient has the access permission.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the judging, according to the access permission document, whether the forwarding sender has the forwarding permission to the XDM resource and whether the forwarding recipient has the access permission to the XDM resource further comprises:

after receiving the forwarding request sent by the forwarding sender, acquiring, in the access permission document, the forwarding permission of the forwarding sender, if the forwarding permission of the forwarding sender does not exist in the access permission document, sending an asking request to an XDM Client (XDMC) of a document management user to ask whether the forwarding sender has the forwarding permission to the XDM resource and whether the forwarding recipient has the access permission to the XDM resource; and

receiving an asking result returned by the XDMC of the document management user.

8. An Extensible Markup Language Document Management (XDM) server (XDMS) device comprising a processor and a non-transitory processor-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium to:

receive a forwarding request sent by a forwarding sender, wherein the forwarding request is used to forward the XDM resource to a forwarding recipient;

judge according to a access permission document, whether the forwarding sender has a forwarding permission to the XDM resource and whether the forwarding recipient has an access permission to the XDM resource; and

forward the XDM resource to the forwarding recipient when the forwarding sender has the forwarding permission and the forwarding recipient has the access permission;

set in the access permission document, the forwarding permission of the forwarding sender for allowing the sending of the forwarded XDM resource; and

set a forwarding recipient list for allowing receipt of the forwarded XDM resource;

wherein setting the forwarding recipient list comprises extending a child element under a forwarding operation element in an action element, wherein the extended child element is used to set the forwarding recipient list.

9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the processor further configured to:

set, in the access permission document, the forwarding permission of the forwarding sender, and set a forwarding recipient list;

set, in the access permission document, the forwarding permission of the forwarding sender, and set, in the access permission document, the access permission of the forwarding recipient;
