Hi Todd,
I hope you don't mind that I am emailing you directly. I am
about to start work on an immigration project for Belize using Struts2. I am
new to struts but wanted to use it for this project. I am using MySQL for my
database and have 30+ tables. I also have a table for users, password etc.
However, after reading your post, I became very interested in using jsecurity
instead of having to worry about implementing authentication etc. myself. I
have downloaded the zip file from the URL you provided. However, I was
wondering if it is possible that I see some sample of your app where you
actually use jsecurity with struts2. I am clueless about how to combine
jsecurity with struts and also how to incorporate it with my existing database
etc. I usually learn better by seeing a working example where I can adapt
ideas of it to suite my needs. If it is not too much trouble, could you send
me some aspects of your struts2 project where you used jsecurity? I would
appreciate your help greatly. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
Kind Regards,
Farshad Rabbani
