Hi
There is no container adapter for Websphere. This is because I am not aware
of anyone having written one. Writing a container adapter is pretty easy.
It's typically one class that implements the target container's particular
authentication interface, and you can use one of the existing container
adapters as your guide.
Container adapters were introduced in version 0.1 of Acegi Security as an
easy way of collecting the authentication credentials from a user, and
enforcing HTTP security (ie web.xml security constraints). In subsequent
versions of Acegi Security, we added filters that performed both of these
functions. As container adapters require you to deploy many JARs into the
container's classloader, and edit container-specific configuration files, it
is less elegant than a webapp-contained solution such as provided by session
authentication. Session authentication also obviously frees you from needing
to write a container adapter, so is more portable.
Is there any particular reason you need to use Websphere for authentication?
Sometimes people wish to secure EJBs etc, and this ties them into the
existing model. Unless you have a compelling reason, you'll enjoy a more
portable and easier to deploy solution using session authentication.
Best regards
Ben

Subject: [Acegisecurity-developer] Acegi 4 Websphere 5 ?
Hi Ben et al,
Is there an adapter for Websphere's servlet container in the works?
(I see catalina,jetty,resin, etc..)
Is there a technical reason why there is not one for WAS 5?
I am evaluating using acegi under WAS and I wanted to know what a
preferred way to integrate.
HTTP session based is an option I assume, however I was hoping to
leverage the servlet container portion..
thanks,
