I just had a consultancy gig with a customer last week (one of the
world's largest banks) who had massive troubles with implementing
portlet technology just because of the historical dependency on URLs
(they use SiteMinder) for authentication/ authorisation.
Now, I don't want to downplay the advantages a product like SiteMinder
or Acegi has, but I'd like to express that it sucks that those products
impose a url model on you. It makes it harder for you to decide later on
to restructure your site as well; in the end for non-document oriented
webapplications, imo URLs should be part of your application internals
really.
I think the way to go is to have a proper JAAS implementation that is
independent of URLs. I think Acegi can do such stuff too, so I think
that would be a good path to investigate.

Hi list,
Just wondering if anybody has successfully used the Acegi security
framework with Wicket (Phil?). I'm currently using Acegi with
SpringMVC and I'd like to use it with Spring/Wicket.
I guess the techniques from the signin examples will do for now, but
in future I need more sophisticated stuff like single sign-on and
integration with other security stuff for which I'd like to use my
existing acegi config.
In my SpringMVC project, Acegi enforces authenticated access on
certain pages based on url patterns. Using Wicket with it's volatile
urls I don't see how this could work.
cheers,
Gert Jan
