Hi,
I have been trying to extend the JR15 acl.ACLProvider (as used by
Sling, so may not be identical to trunk), and arrived at something
that might be considered to go back in to JR... if you are
interested.
It replaces the static call to ACLTemplate.collectEntries(node,map)
with an object, that object implementing an internal API,
EntryCollector, coming from a protected method getEntryCollector(),
which can be overridden.
This has allowed me to change the way in which the the ACL is
filtered for the current session. For an example extension see [1],
and the modified acl.ACL* classes see [2] Is this something likely
to be useful in JR core, or do you have other plans for this area ?
