Authentication question

[Ralf Utermann]

Hi all,

we are just about to start a project using Struts;
maybe I can get some hints on two things:

- authentication: 
  In many services here we rely on DCE for authentication. 
  This is also done for Web-based cgi-apps with 
  Paul Henson's mod_auth_dce for Apache. Two questions:
  - anybody knows of a DCE solution in the Java servlet/Jsp
environment? 
  - if I keep the setup with relying on this  Apache module
for authentication, what's the best method to get the
users name within the struts environment? 
What's the best method to organize access to different
actions based on the fact, that I don't need a password but
already have an authenticated user name from Apache?

- For JDBC connections and the  mysql/mm configuration, which
  is the recommended open source connection pool solution?

TIA, Ralf

 Hi,
 
 Just wondering if an archive of messages exists and if so where?
 
 What is the current status of struts?
 I recently downloaded a 0.5 release but see references to 1.0. 
 Is 1.0 a release candidate?
 What is the release schedule?

I would also like to hear the answer. I am just about starting
a new project where I want to use struts for the first time.
Should one start with 1.0, if programming for the project will
start within the next 2 weeks?

Regards, Ralf
