Also, the big debate we had recently about ClassUtil was related to the difficulties Simon was having with ACEGI. That contributed too. But it's not just that... the request-wrapping technique is pretty elegant, and seems like a good way to make JSPWiki play nicely with lots of things.
Yes, and it works pretty well together with AJAX as well.
I admire the design of JAAS quite a bit -- it's modeled after PAM, and is really flexible. It's only weird if you think PAM is weird too. Yes, Callbacks are a little odd, but not too bad, really, once you get the hang of them.
Why yes, I *do* think PAM is weird ;-)
So, is this a 2.8 or 3.0 item?
I guess it depends on your time schedule mostly. I think it should be fine on 2.8, but I'd also like to see 2.8 during this spring, and we're getting loads and loads of features into it...
