Hi Aaron,
See my post to jboss-dev on October 4 ("security database
mappings") for the current status. You can configure users, roles,
principals, and passwords for a lightweight prototype by inserting
records into database tables. Current user is set through static
methods of a client class right now for standalone applications;
eventually we will have a client container as per the J2EE spec
(and integration with JAAS). There is currently no way to set the
current user with a web app, although I have looked at Tomcat and
don't see this as a particularly difficult feat (will be done with thread
local data).
I can give a few hours a week to this project, but probably no more
for a few months anyway. I hope that will change... Security's
readiness for the final release will depend on how things go in the
time I have available, in the exact date of the final release, and
possibly in other volunteers contributing. See bugzilla for a list of
open tasks.
