I am working on some security integration (Ki/wicket), and am looking at a general way to set component visibility based on the user permissions/roles etc.

Of course I could do: component.setVisible( false ), but that gets really verbose when 'false' can be a rather long statement.

Wicket-auth-roles uses the authorize actions annotation to disable "RENDER/ENABLE"

I understand how to apply that if I construct a class with the annotation, but how would I apply something like that to an arbitrary component?

Could this be implemented with a Behavior?

Perhaps, beforeRender() could set enabled/visibility and cleanup() would restore it?

It would be great to be able to do:

WebMarkupContainer stuff = new WebMarkupContainer( "stats" );
stats.add( new AuthorizationConstraint( "view: stats" );

or something like that.

Any pointers?  Am I missing another preferred way to do this?

thanks
ryan
