Guys, I'm going to leave this topic, go off and start coding some of
your suggestions.
Thanks for all your assistance and I'll let you know if it all works out well.

I agree. We have easily extended the ACL classes at logical points to
handle our business particulars. The db schema was the first such
issue. From what I have read on this thread, your use cases are pretty
simple and you just need to learn more about how to extend acegi at the
right places. The docs are pretty good for any software but the test
cases are great.

Using hibernate it is possible to do the following ( pseudo code )
SalesPerson salesPerson = hibernate.find( SalesPerson as
salesperson where salesperson.id = 1);
Why not just use the username (which should be unique) to lookup the
SalesPerson?
SalesPerson salesPerson = hibernate.find( SalesPerson as
salesperson where salesperson.username = ?, user.getUsername());
Assuming there's and index on username performance would not be an
issue.

Hi Bryan
I am inclined to agree with Ollie. Your other requirement (the last 20
users who signed up) could be equally as effectively addressed by an
additional indexed column, createdDate. Acegi Security has no problems
with you adding additional columns to the schema (or backend) managed
by
an AuthenticationDao. You can even return such additional details in
the
UserDetails implementation returned by the AuthenticationDao.
I do not believe any of your use cases could not be effectively and
modularly accommodated using the existing Acegi Security packages. Its
usefulness for your authentication needs is beyond a doubt. The ACL
side
is a little grayer, simply because the ACL packages are quite new.
Having said that, I am fairly confident they'd meet your needs as
described in my earlier email. The ACL packages are reasonably
flexible
if you really wanted to completely re-engineer the schema: check the
list archives for a recent discussion between Andres March and myself
about this.
In relation to remoting integration, as you may have noticed in the
Contacts sample application, Acegi Security provides support for this
via its BASIC authentication filter. In addition, there is a new RCP
package which can be helpful for ensuring a valid login request has
happened at the client end. Check out the Petclinic RCP sample (part
of
the spring-rcp project) to see this in use.
I'd suggest trying to integrate authentication without worrying about
the ACL side. Then, once you see that working, review how the included
ACL packages work. It will be a lot clearer when you understand the
place where the method security interceptors, ContextHolder,
AuthenticationDao, and AccessDecisionVoters fit into the bigger
picture.
Of course we're also happy to continue helping you on-list.
Best regards
Ben
