IHMO, Niclas is talking about the Java Sandbox/SecurityManager/AccessController. So it's not about security in the sense of authorization against the application, but to provide means for running a qi4j application in a restricted (sandboxed) environment (e.g Google AppEngine). I started a similar thread last year, but it got dormant (too early for it?):

Cheers, Georg
I have just realized that we probably need to become more security
concerned than we have been so far.

Anyone has any thoughts on this topic?

I don't understand your situation entirely, apologies if I'm way off
base, and I suspect you want to go with standard Java approaches to
managing security. But... I'll throw out $0.02 that most security is
based on access control lists, and those are 9 times out of 10
fundamentally flawed. A different and often mostly better approach
that might be worth thinking about is to use 'object capabilities' for
authorization.

sincerely.
