The link to the wiki is not good enough.  Here is a link to the 2.2 docs on the 
JACC security 
http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.2/reference-guide/en/html_single/#security in 
JBoss Portal.  We are evaluating a few open source portals.  We're concerned 
that there is a lot of change going on in the security layer of JBoss Portal.  
We built a portal using JBoss Portal last year and simply used JAAS and 
integrated our own permissions systems.  This year, in preparation for a new 
project, we've been reviewing 2.4 we see that simply adding in our own login 
module isn't going to cut it - mainly due to the JACC Security policy stuff.  
We don't have a problem with JACC, we're mainly wondering if the JACC 
implementation is stable, going away, going to change, etc....  The fact that 
it's not in the documentation leads us to believe that maybe the security layer 
is in the process of being changed.

Please provide some indication of the direction of the Security layer - are the 
API's fixed for 2.4 and all 2.X releases of the Portal?  Where's the real 
documentation for these API's?  We are existing JBoss customers, we obviously 
wouldn't be interested in adding on or buying support for the JBoss Portal if 
we can't get decent written documentation on the API's and a guarantee of 
consistency on the portal.

Thanks.
