I have not started, just going through all the
documents I can find abt Slide, I am still trying to
understand the basic concepts and architecture.
I am usig Struts, hibernate and Spring framework. I am
developing a generic 'program' management application.
I already have a User and Role table managed by MySQL.
I have a securiryfilter to handle the authentication;
after which it goes through the authorization process
to determine what the user can see/do - for example,
which menu items they can see (I am using Struts Menu
plus my own role based permission adaptor to filter
the menu items).
Files are created for each program in a particular
department, and only the members of the program can
access the files.
The reasons why I am thinking of a seperate RBAC (role
based access control) rather than using the Slide one
are:
1) I do nto know how Slide canl handle this model
2) I already have my authentication and authorization
mechnism, maybe it is easier for me to extend it to
support document management.
3) Will that be possible to keep a WebDaResource open
in the application context so I do not need to
open/close everytime - since I can use one dedicated
user/passwd for all user request ? Will this improve
performance a little bit ?
