Hi Bruno and all, Thanks for the top notch feed-back on Restlet security. I have updated these two related RFEs:
"Refactor authentication and authorization" http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=505 "Support Spring Security" http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=264 We are not ready yet to concretely start the refactoring/coding effort but it is still time to provide feed-back and design ideas. When we start a bit later in Restlet 1.2 dev cycle, I will create a page in the developers wiki and make write a synthesis of all requirements, analysis and design suggestion. Then it will be time for experimentations and more feed-back. We'll get there, and in the end, it should be nice and clean to leverage Spring Security, JSecurity, JGuard, SPNEGO and all other related security features that we have envisioned so far.

Jerome, any preferred place to put this code? (I'll > also put the SPNEGO filter that I've been planning to commit for a long > time.) I've just contributed my code under the JCA: http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=505 It's also available here: http://git.kato.mvc.mcc.ac.uk/bruno/altguard.git/ It does need improvements, but hopefully, it will be of interest for the discussion on re-factoring the Guard-related classes. Best wishes, Bruno.
