I haven't done anything like that myself, but you could try the following. Let me know if it works for you.
1) Register your own ActionListener with <action-listener> in your jsf-config. 2) In the listener you will have access to the ActionEvent, which will give you access to the event source UICommand component 3) UICommand implements ActionSource, so you can find out what method will be called by calling getAction() on it to get your MethodBinding. 4) Check if the user is allowed to run this method. If not, throw an AbortProcessingException The 1st step is the part I never tried. If it doesn't work, you can always provide your own default ActionListener by setting it with application.setActionListener(). If you have to do that, either subclass ActionListenerImpl or copy most of the code from it and add your security code. I am curious whether this works or not, so please post the results if you try it. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-which-method-will-be-invoked-in-the-invoke-application-phase.-t1599198.html#a4342736 Sent from the MyFaces - Users forum at Nabble.com.
