Hi!

After searching this list and studying documentation I have not found a simple way of doing group-based authorization in jackrabbit. If I got it correctly I would need either another tree in the repository storing access permissions or some in-memory chunk of data, because the AccessManager does not allow accessing the node in question (which -in some respect- makes sense). On the other hand there seems almost no alternative to this approach.

After all, this is very unsatisfying! I simply want unix-style permissions on my nodes. I was already thinking about storing permissions in properties and handle the access outside of JAAS and JCR in my EJB... which is not really good style.

Any hints are highly appreciated!

Cheers,
Dan
