I do sort of see your point Scott, but I have to agree with Mark here. AuthenticationDao may not be the best name, but it isn't the service. I could see the ProviderManager as a service, or even the AuthenticationProvider, but not the AuthenticationDao.
Either way, I think the naming of AuthenticationDao is some what of a semantic issue, and renaming it would have pretty far reaching effect for little gain. My vote, if this is one hehe, would be no as well. -Ray On 11/15/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Mark St.Godard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ... > > The AuthenticationProvider err.. provides a layer ontop of > > the actual authenticatonDao, so maybe I am missing something. > > Hi Mark! > > Hmmm, it could be me that's been missing it.
