Hello,

I'm working with type-safe view-config for my app an run in an issue with defining security restrictions for pages.

Deltaspike documentation explains how to use @Secured annotation and implement AccessDecisionVoter-s to define permission checks for pages. I have a bunch of custom SecurityBindingType-s that checked via @Secures-annotated methods and I want to use those SecurityBindingType-s to configure permission checks on ViewConfig objects.

Example (mostly just from Deltaspike docs):
// Custom security binding annotation:

|@Retention(value = RUNTIME) @Target({TYPE, METHOD}) @Documented @SecurityBindingType public @interface UserLoggedIn {}|

 // Custom /authorizer/|
@ApplicationScoped |

|public class LoggedInAuthorizer { @Secures @UserLoggedIn public boolean doSecuredCheck(Identity identity) throws Exception { return identity.isLoggedIn(); } }|

// View config
@|UserLoggedIn // <- Note that I want to use |security binding annotation here. Not a new class with @Secured
|public class MyPage implements ViewConfig||{ |

|}|
// Note: this example has only one annotation (|UserLoggedIn|) but my app has a 
dozen of them.

So I want to use security binding annotations for ViewConfig classes in the same way we usually use them for beans. The problem is that I can't find easy way to do that type of security check declaration in Delatspike.

Obviously, I can write a AccessDecisionVoter for each custom security binding type but I don't want to create so many classes just for view configuration. Also I can write an AccessDecisionVoter and list all my security binding annotations and check them one by one. However I don't want to hardcode the list of annotations. To high risk that somebody forgets to update the list.

Is there better way to achieve that? Am I missing something?

PS: I've run into that problem during migration from Seam 3. Seam allowed to use security binding annotations in page configuration.
