Subject: Re: [ARTICLE] Using JAAS and Struts
From: "Sebastian Millies" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

That's a nice article, and describes the sort of approach which I am sure
many people (including me) have taken. I sure would have profited by
reading this before figuring it all out myself ...

My proposal would differ in having not the ActionServlet but the
Action-classes
check authorization - that way, you can include some bells and whistles in
your ActionMapping and use the configuration in struts-config.xml to control
security level, require logins, require SSL etc. for every single action.

Also, if you want to collect all your
permissions in a single permission DB (instead of multiple policy files) and
still use JDK 1.3, you might want to consider using your own Policy
implementation and maybe create an appropriateAccessControlContext
under which all the action processing is done. That would be difficult to
exactly mirror on JSP's, though.

I'm sure people on the Struts team must have proposals up their sleeve on
how to integrate JAAS, which they will include in a future release of
Struts.
