Dear AXIS List,

I'm working on developing an RBAC (Role Based Access Control) system to
protect our Asset Management resources.  Currently, I have a
PermissionsHandler which sets the permissions necessary to perform a given
operation.  This information is then set in the MessageContext and is
referenced by the AuthorizationHandler.

Now it occurs to me that it would be alot more flexible (not to mention
writing less code on my end) to specify this permission in an XML file,
which could then be referenced by a generic PermissionsHandler instead of
having a seperate PermissionsHandler for each service.

Before I head down this road, I thought I would check to see if this was
something that had been tackled already.  I didn't see anything in either
the WSDD schema or the WSDL specification, but it's possible I could have
missed something.


Thanx,
Ian
