I don't have experience yet with Shiro, but looking at the documentation (which is good), it looks promising, especially it's web filtering capabilities, and the ini-file and bean-style configuration.
I see quite a few similarities with security concepts we currently have in JSPWiki, like the default set of web filters that are similar to our login modules, and Shiro permissions similar to WikiPermissions. regards, Harry 2010/12/28 Janne Jalkanen <[email protected]> > > Hi! > > I think this is solely in Andrew's domain.
