Antonio, this is my approach since I have many pages/rights to check... and it seems that it's secure and (maybe too ?) simple to write... But maybe your further processing will work better with another approach. In my case xsl checks the right (indeed from session:getxml) and then displays one thing or another.
Interesting thread anyway :-) Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Antonio Gallardo Rivera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 9:08 AM Subject: Re: [Auth-framwork] - How to manage multiple documents. Hi Barbara I see you posting always! ;) Thanks, So.... Do you mean the best approach is to put the permission to every file into the <data> element of the "auth-protect" action? Then check this permission into each page? The auth-session data will return something like: <authentication> <ID>userA</ID> <data> <create-category>true</create-category> <edit-category>true</edit-category> <create-product>false</create-product> <edit-product>false</edit-product> </authentication> Then in the beginning of each page, checks for: <<create-category>> <session:getxml context="authentication" path="authentication/data/create-category"> It will return true or false. In this way I can have only 1 handler. Is this the best approach?
