In my project, I need more than 100 permissions for some secure objects, I 
simply use Hash table to store the permission and its value.

For example, "PERM_reboot has value allow or deny", "PERM_patch has value allow 
or deny"

All you need is to implement your own AccessDecisionVoter so that it knows how 
to resolve the current secure object ( or domain object), then base on the 
prefix "PERM_", you know it is asking for Access Control decision specific to 
the secure object.

I actually hook in the Sun Access Manager 7.0 to centralize the authorization 
decision making.

I can not directly send the code until my company clears the way, but the idea 
is pretty straightforward.

Hope this helps,

Jin

Two proposals on ACLs.  Both straightforward, but I don’t
know if my employer would be happy with me sending actual patches.
 

  
 

1)     AclImpl#isGranted()
should use Permission#equals(Object) instead of explicitly comparing bit masks. 
The latter quietly ties the standard impl to specific Permission classes.
 

  
 

2)     There can be
an additional standard Permission, one that contains both a bit mask and a
class (or classname).  BasePermission gives you a set of global permissions,
this new permission gives you a set of per-class permissions.  Our project
requires more than 32 permissions, but no individual class should ever require
close to that number.
