I have kind of an aversion for everything Spring, and haven't had the need for anything more complex than checking user roles at the method level. We are using Spring pretty heavily and it does seem to add a huge layer of complexity and I'm not quite sure to what benefit (apart from DI).

I am wondering if there is anything standards based a servlet container can provide when I only have a static set of permissions and customers can define their own roles by combining these permissions. I pretty much always need something like @PermissionRequired instead of @RolesAllowed in my

We couldn't find anything standard and went with spring security after looking at Shiro. In Shiro and the standard stuff it seems,at best, tough to do basic stuff like administrators and owners can see a user's email address. Our domain has a dozen roles and and groups (with different

Thanks Thomas that's good information. I too have found that best practices for securing GWT applications difficult to come by. There are just bits and pieces on the web...and if you get the Spring Security book, for example as I did, they don't even mention GWT. What's needed are some

Thanks Thomas, that's a lot of useful information - although I have to admit I have to work my way through it, since i am not very familiar with the AOP/ServiceLayerDecorator concept through Guice. I am using the straightforward Service/AsyncService on client side and ServiceImpl on server
