So the security model would be wrapped around URL paths rather than the types of entities returned by the queries? That's quite nice since it means there are lots of options for security outside of Cayenne, even down to simple authentication inside Apache httpd which can be controlled against regex path expressions. >> > * is it wise to tie it into Jodatime as that library is just now being >> > replaced by the new Java time classes? > I hope LinkRest will be on Java 8 in the next 6 months. Then we drop Joda. Well, there is already a port of the library for Java 7. https://github.com/ThreeTen/threetenbp I think this is the same code, but without the licensing that allows it to be called JSR-310. I've been meaning to play with it myself, but haven't had the time yet. I'm hoping it is drop-in compatible.
