Hi I use the Tomcat/Slide for managing user permissions and files on a project-management site. The users can have different permissions on their own home directory and different ones for every project goup they are members of.
I managed to create a system where I can dynamically create user without the need of restarting Tomcat every time a new user is created. I've done this by configuring the Tomcat to use JDBC store as a user DB instead of the tomcat-users.xml. The next problem is that I must group users for setting ACL-permissions for the whole group. I have no idea how to do this with JDBC store. With the Domain.xml the procedure is simple with <objectnode classname="org.apache.slide.structure.GroupNode" uri="/users/grpXXX"> (and the example Domain.xml makes it even more simple), but I haven't been able to find any information on how to do this with JDBC.. Should I add some group-tables to the Tomcat's authentication DB or what.. Any ideas/links/help appreciated. I'd rather not use the Tomcat's roles for grouping users, since I have even less idea what they are than I have on this JDBC store thing ;-) Mikko H�m�l�inen Espoon-Vantaan teknillinen ammattikorkeakoulu - EVTEK
