Tim,

No, just looking around at a higher level. Back to what I like about 
spring security, it stays entirely out of application code's way (as 
does the protouser stuff). I will look at those auth examples, and I 
will poke through (Mega)ProtoUser source (I'm more accustomed to having 
an application component manage access control, as opposed to http auth.

On another note, are you using lift 1.1-M4? I used the jpa basic 
archetype last night and the web module is broken (mainly imports in Boot).

Thanks again for your input!
