Howdy.

Is there a "best-practice" for using J2EE container managed security
with WebWork 1.3 (<security-constrainy> etc. in web.xml)?

I've discussed some possible strategies with Joseph (Ottinger) on irc,
but none of them seem natural.

1 - prefix action mappings with secured-theaction.action in
views.properties and restrict access to these mappings in web.xml.

2 - use different webwork.action.extension (.action & .secured-action)
and restrict access based on extension in web.xml (is it even possible
to specify more then one extension in webwork.properties?)

3 - use web.xml to restrict access to the web-resources (i.e.
/jsp/secured/somepage.jsp). This would only protect the view, but not
the execution of the action.

How are you folks out there managing this situation?

Best Regards //Anders
