The whole point of the AuthenticationDao is to build a UserDetails instance, by whatever means necessary. So, no, users like you should do exactly what you're doing. I don't see a reason for you two implement a new AuthenticationProvider, unless the DaoAuthenticationProvider is not meeting you're needs.The one and only method defined by AuthenticationDao is: public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username) throws UsernameNotFoundException, DataAccessException; AuthenticationDao is used variously within the system: Implementation: JdbcDaoImpl Implementation: InMemoryDaoImpl User: DaoAuthenticationProvider User: DaoCasAuthoritiesPopulator User: DaoX509AuthoritiesPopulator User: DigestProcessingFilter User: TokenBasedRememberMeServices User: SwitchUserProcessingFilter AuthenticationDao is presently found in the org.acegisecurity.providers.dao package. Given only the first three classes above are actually in that package or a subpackage, perhaps AuthenticationDao should be moved to a higher-level package to reflect its broader use in five other areas of the framework. We faced a similar transition for UserDetails itself, from the DAO package to the top-level package for a similar reason. Whilst it's mostly semantics, the other side is clarifying relationships and scope of services within the framework. Perhaps we should rename org.acegisecurity.providers.dao.AuthenticationDao to org.acegisecurity.UserDetailsService. It will mean that most users have to make a fairly minor change to the interface they're implementing in their AuthenticationDao implementations, but aside from that it will be transparent. If we do this, it might even be better to make an org.acegisecurity.userdetails package, to hold UserDetails, User, UserDetailsService and the two implementations listed above. At least we'd be emphasising "these classes can be used anywhere within the framework or by your code" - not just for DaoAuthenticationProvider. Anyhow, I note the current responses consider this mostly a semantics issue, but I tend to see where Scott's coming from regarding clarifying architectural use and layering. We can make these moves with losing revision history (I feel game - I'll log another SF CVS job! :-) ). And users are already going to be *having* to change the import of their AuthenticationDao implementations anyway, due to the package rename in SEC-104. Thoughts?
