Brian Leathem commented on SEAMFACES-33:
----------------------------------------

I had initially thought of creating a Faces @Restrict tag, that would use EL to 
grant/deny access to a page.

Shane pointed out we should rather be using the typesafe security annotations 
from Seam security (an optional Dependency).  The app dev would build 
annotations that are annotated with @SecurityBindingType, and put these 
annotations in the @ViewConfig enum.

Faces will listen for the PostConstructViewMapEvent, retrieve the list of 
@SecurityBindingType annotations from the @ViewConfig, then throw a 
CheckSecuredViewEvent.  The Seam Security module will observe it, do the 
security check, and return a boolean.

Not as straightforward as @Restrict(#{expersionLanguage}), but type safety is 
definitely a big benefit.

> We need a solution to address consolidated page-flow, transactional control, 
> security constraints, and perhaps URL-rewriting -- all in one place.
> It has been previously discussed that a type-safe API be possible for this - 
> which is definitely preferred over XML configuration:
