IMH Acegi needs a facade bean, which would administer wiring and setting up default behaviour.We try to use sensible defaults (implemented in the Java classes) to minimise XML where possible.
A variety of approaches are available to further reduce XML configuration:
- Use a BeanPostProcessor
- Make beans BeanFactoryAware, using DefaultListableBeanFactory to find likely collaborators and wire them
- Use autowiring and inner beans more often
- Use abstract beans as per Craig Walls' approach
I actually prefer Craig's approach. Abstract beans are a standard Spring capability, and people who invest time in learning it receive benefits beyond Acegi Security. I believe the other approaches obfuscate the configuration source, which will increase difficulty when customising configuration or troubleshooting. However, I invite people who wish to write contributions that adopt these alternative approaches to submit them for inclusion in the project.
