Hi Carl,
To be honest a few ROP projects that I've done used all-or-nothing
security (if you are authenticated, you can do anything). Still I've
been also thinking about more fine-grained approach. My solution
would be to set up a custom 'org.apache.cayenne.DataChannel'
decorator, adding custom security checks to 'onQuery()' and 'onSync'
methods. In the simplest case, you can have the following security
levels:
1. Restricted: only NamedQuery requests are honored, 'onSync' is denied.
2. Read-only: onQuery() allows all but SQLTemplate queries, 'onSync'
is denied.
3. Full
4. Custom - check custom rules.
Also I haven't yet explored the use of the new 3.0 callbacks as a
security mechanism, probably there are some opportunities there:
