We do not currently use ActionForms, so Im not sure if that would be a better
place to do this, however, here is what we have done.
We have not yet added security to fields depending on the user, however, that
should not be too big of a deal to add.
We have a set of fields that may never be changed, such as table keys, etc.
These fields, we use the "readonly" attribute to stop those that are using IE
from thinking that they may modify the data.
Our Action class only retrieves those fields that the user should have access
to modify. The other fields, we should be able to retrieve from somewhere
else if needed.
(maybe from a bean stored in the session, for example).
If you want to allow different users to modify different fields:
In our approach, you would check the users access before retrieving each field
in the action class. Then decide where to get the information from... The
form, or a bean.
This is only one approach, Im sure that there are others. You may want to
look into the ActionForm. This may be a better place to handle it.
I am interested in other options as we will be starting to look into field
level security in the next couple of months.
