Hi Ben,
Yeah I agree.. lets keep the base build and Contacts sample JDK 1.3 compatible.
I think I could create another sample subproject and just do some simple Ant build.xml stuff to
reuse the actual source code in the (regular) contacts example.
Ok thats I need to continue with this...
/contacts/ regular contacts JDK 1.3
/contacts-tiger/ Java 5 annotations version
How does that sound?
Regarding a new sample app.. I agree.. I think we need something easier to follow.
To have something that uses some simple filters, config, etc...
would ...(get ready for it)... the Spring petstore be too simple (or done to death :) ?
Or one of the other Spring samples?... might be a natural progression to show
security applied to it. Just a thought.
Let me know if you need any help with it.
Cheers
Mark

Basically, we will require Java 5 to build from the /samples/contacts dir... To do a full build of Acegi, we require Java 5 (for domain and core-tiger).. just wanted to make sure that this is ok
for the samples as well.I believe we need to maintain Java 1.3 compatibility in the base/defaultbuild. I would therefore prefer if the base Contacts Sample did not useannotations. or if this should be in a completely separate project ala..
acegisecurity/samples/contacts/ acegisecurity/samples/contacts-annotations/Maybe a Maven expert (Carlos, Luke?) could have a look at how we couldshare the code between the Contacts
1.3 and Contacts 5 Java versionsmore elegantly. A few ideas come to mind, such as a newsamples/contacts/src/main/webapp/tiger directory to hold the config, andthe 1.5-compatible ContactManager named in a manner that excludes it
from the compilation but a separate postGoal will compile it if 1.5 isdetected.One thing concerning me about the Contacts Sample more generally is howdifficult it is for new users to follow. I think there is an argument to
add a new sample that just uses filter security - without any method orACL security. Such a sample might also double as a performance benchmarkto compare Acegi Security performance with servlet spec managed constraints.
