Richard DiCroce commented on DELTASPIKE-988:
--------------------------------------------
The motivation for the patch was the need to build menus that hide items the
user is not allowed to access. In our case, we had several AccessDecisionVoters
that performed orthogonal checks, and any subset of them might be present in
the ViewConfig for a given view. There was no place in our application that
made it easy to perform all of the relevant checks, given an arbitrary view.
But the ViewConfig already knows about all of the voters, so I just needed to
be able to invoke them the same way DeltaSpike does in order to find out if a
user can access a view or not.
However, the requirements for my project changed again, so this patch is no
longer helpful for us. It may still be worth merging, in whole (if you find the
above argument persuasive) or in part (for the Secured page tests).

> Currently, there is no way to programmatically evaluate the Secured
> annotations on a ViewConfig. I have created a PR on GitHub to add such an
> API. As a bonus, I also added some tests for the Secured/ViewConfig
> integration.
