Interesting you should ask this.....    I first heard about ACEGI last 
week in a different conversation and have just started to look into it a 
bit.   I'd LOVE to have your input into this as to what you think is 
needed or what you would consider good integration.

Here are my thoughts so far:   (keep in mind, I had never heard of ACEGI 
till last week so I could be completely off base)

1) If you deploy your app as a war using the spring webapp stuff and 
setting up to use aop for your service, it should just work.  The acegi 
filter should grab the basic-auth stuff, setup the security context 
stuff it needs, and when we call invoke on the service, the acegi stuff 
should grant/deny it.

2) Longer term, we could write an interceptor that grabs the 
AuthorizationPolicy object and HTTPS/WS-Sec stuff from our message and 
fills in the acegi contexts with the details.    That really wouldn't be 
a huge amount of work to do.
