how to allow certain IPs to access my directory

2002-01-30 Thread Takeo Kameda
Hi All.  This is my first post.
I would like to allow only certain IPs to access some of my site.  I know
that
can be done in orion-web.xml using "access-mask/ip-access", but I believe
it can only be applied to the whole application.  What I want to do is to
block
IPs only to a certain directory.  Is there any easy way to do that, like
using
.htaccess for apache?  or, do I have to write my own servlet filter for
that?
thanks in advance.

Hi Takeo,
Wehn we came across this issue, we wrote our own servlet filter as IP 
based security is not defined in the JDK spec and then, even if you fin 
a solution like the one you ask, it will be orion-specific and 
non-portable. On the other hand, if you write your filter carefully, you 
can have a pretty flexible tool to do what you want (In our case we 
define the IP/Hostname masks through an XML document that can be loaded 
through the network, filesystem...).
regards,
D.
