How does JSecurity relate to existing standards, e.g., JAAS, JACC, WS-Security, etc.? The only reference I found is a comment in the slide show saying Simplify or replace JAAS. Well JAAS is the Java standard in this space, and part of the Java core, so are we proposing a replacement or

Full JAAS integration is desired for the 1.0 final release to support those who actually implement containers. JSecurity is usable in all containers today, both web and non-web today, just not via JAAS yet. The reason it is not in place now and hasn't been in 3 years is that because the vast

Just a clarification: JSecurity can be used in any environment - web or not, container or not. The reason why the Filter approach is best known is that it is the easiest to set up - Filters allow an 'interceptor' mechanism that is common to any web container. When not using a Filter, you must
