If you have a good learner and familiar with Dependancy injection/IOC I would recomend you look at acegi.
It has a steep initial learning curve but there is no need that it doesn't satisfy, I think it is the most flexible and advanced security system/framework I've ever seen, providing security all the way down to method invokations and object collection filtering. It is 1000 times better than CMS ( although it does allow you to use CMS as well ). http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net/ Yours Bryan Hunt On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 10:44:04 +0000, Adam Hardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Julian, > > you should take a look at CMS (container-managed security) as this is > probably the most effective solution - integrated, portable, widespread > etc. > > Try either tomcat's website for documentation there, or even look in the > servlet spec from Sun, or in your appserver's docs, to see if it suits > your needs. > > Struts has many features that allows you to leverage CMS in the ways you > say you require. > > Persistence of your user info & groups or roles etc is done under CMS in > whichever way you choose - there are various 'realm' implementations > which allow database stores, XML files, LDAP or bespoke solutions. > > HTH > Adam > > > > On 11/17/2004 03:09 AM Julian wrote: > > Hi, I am a Struts Newbie and would appreciate if > > anyone could give me some pointers on a user > > preferences/ configuration system design.
