I have a couple of fundamental questions.

1.  it looks like the Adapter for the specific container e.g. 
net.sf.acegisecurity.adapters.catalina.CatalinaAcegiUserRealm will use 
whatever provider is setup in Acegi.  And the main purpose of this is:

that applications can continue to leverage the authentication and 
authorization capabilities built into containers (such as isUserInRole() 
and form-based or basic authentication

Since this can be done with the AuthorizeTag, is there are reason that 
we'd need this?

2.  If authentication is handled by a third party filter w/ values that 
are sent on the header, can a "Header" AuthenticateProvider be created 
that gets an authenticated userid/username and an AuthorizationProvider 
that similarly pulls group/role values from the head and creates the 
corresponding "authorities".

3.  If a transaction proxy is being used in our code and we use the 
MethodInvokingProxy, can the Class.MethodName=role syntax be 
Interface.MethodName=role instead.

Thanks for you patience.
