I don't think you need to implement a "universal" API. You only need to implement a mechanism which makes struts users easy integrate their "home-grown" access control system. Struts has already support the base authorization of J2EE.Why not support access control? I don't mean to provide a api,but a simple config,just like I have proposed. I write my own classes to check the access rights,and write the config to integrate these to struts.Why I want to integrate these to struts?Because struts does a lot of useful work for me,and I can take advantage of this.For example,I can use formbeans in my access checking class! Why I don't want to use other framework to do this?Because I already have a lot of frameworks used in my projects,and there are a lot of config xml files. Access control system will protect every URL in the application.So I need to config it.But I already config the path in strtuts action mapping.If action mapping in struts is changed,for instance the path element is changed,I have to change the config file which is used by my access control system. If you can do a little work to support this,it will be more easy.In fact,it will not need so much time. Thanks Michael McGrady,he give me some links.In these links, I know there are many people really nead the kind of mechanism. Do this in a simple way,just like the filter.In fact,my design is inspired by the filter.Though filter can do this,but my approach can utilize the struts which already do some work for me.At least I can utilize the struts-config.xml,and no need to write another config file. ===== Ji Liu _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? 150万曲MP3疯狂搜，带您闯入音乐殿堂 http://cn.rd.yahoo.com/mail_cn/tag/yisou/music/*http://music.yisou.com/ 美女明星应有尽有，搜遍美图、艳图和酷图 http://cn.rd.yahoo.com/mail_cn/tag/yisou/image/*http://image.yisou.com 1G就是1000兆，雅虎电邮自助扩容！ http://cn.rd.yahoo.com/mail_cn/tag/1g/*http://cn.mail.yahoo.com/event/mail_1g/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
