Hi

I have JBoss AS setup and dedicated to servicing a franchise-based business.

I have a couple of modules deployed in JBoss AS (4.2.1), that are completely 
unrelated (but together serve a higher purpose). JSPWiki at example.com/wiki/ 
and JForum at example.com/forum/ - (note: I have enabled forwarding of port 80 
to 8080).

I also have a custom built module deployed as ROOT.war, and is hence available 
at example.com - For all intensive purposes, you can consider this module the 
"main system module", with the wiki and forum installed for collaboration 
purposes.

>From what I've read briefly (I'm still wrapping my mind around it), JSPWiki

So in a nutshell, my user navigates to www.example.com and is prompted to login 
with a form. Based on their username, they get assigned a role or denied 
access. Assuming they're authenticated, they proceed to the ROOT.war home page, 
and from there they either use the main system, or collaborate on the wiki and 
forum. Based on their role, their access to the wiki is limited, meanwhile 
access to the forum is a given so long as they managed to log in to begin with.

Fwiw, I aim to use JBoss's DdatabaseServerLoginModule to allow my client's IT 
admin staff to CRUD users and roles online. We're estimating to have around 400 
users at most.

Thus goal is to implement user/role-based security at the ROOT level, that 
carries over to the wiki/ (fully JAAS) and forum/ (just top-level folder), 
using DatabaseServerLoginModule. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.
