Ben, Thanks tons for the input and direction now I just need to figure out what it all means. :) I may be back with more questions as I digest and learn. :)
>The only thing you gain by going through all of this is EJB declarative >security. Correct me if I'm wrong but another reason might be for propagation of security information to a remote EJB? This is mainly what I need to integrate with container managed security for, maybe there's another way? >If it were me, I'd be going with the former option and in due course >refactoring the EJBs to native POJOs that can be managed directly by Spring. On that topic would it be very difficult, possible, or useful to create a spring interceptor that initializes and wraps an acegi threadlocal security context given the current J2EE authenticated principal? Similar to how the Transaction and Hibernate Interceptors work? I realize it would probably require some sort of container specific method of obtaining the principal associated with the current context; however, this functionality would be very handy for those who cannot yet ditch container managed authentication entirely. :) Any input or guidance for such an interceptor would be greatly appreciated as well.
