The approach would be to use a filter. Acegi comes with a filter already configured and independent of any presentation framework (as long as it's based in servlets)....

If you dont want to introduce another (couple of) framework(s) use a hand-coded filter. However, I think acegi and spring are always worth a look ; )

I have seen there's a role property in some myFaces tags, but I'm not sure how to use it, probably myFaces implementation offers something but I am not sure. I have sticked to acegi, since it offers many types of authentication schemes and is highly customizable.

I'm trying to decide on a Login/Logout system to protect my files using JSF.. I've played about with extending NavigationHandler, but the problem is, it doesn't protect the files which aren't JSF, and you can still run the JSP files if you wanted to...

How have you people gone about a database driven login/logout system using Faces?
