Hi Steve, my work is still in progress and at the moment Andrea and me discuss the best way for proper Spring/Geoserver integration.
If you want to modify the security subsystem (LDAP authentification,..), you will end in an individual geoserver build. The starting point is main/src/main/java/applicationSecurityContext.xml This file contains the spring security configuration and is packaged in a jar file. You have to modify this file for your needs. And yes, you will have to read the spring security documentation. My plan is to store the individual configuration in the geoserver data dir. About the roadmap. As a volunteer I cannot give you a roadmap. The only thing I can say is that I have to finish my Master Thesis in May 2012 but I hope to finish earlier.

Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2dcopy2 _______________________________________________ Geoserver-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users
