What makes me wonder is, using Acegi as a Filter means not to use component-based authorization. But it should be possible to integrate Acegi into the application and all Filter-gotchas should be resolvable. Or am I missing something? You're right, if you really want, you can use URL based

hi maurice, i didn't want to stat a framework war... ;-) my point was just to understand why you started a new thing. i'm currently in the process of selecting a authentication/authorization framework, too. it should be highly flexible, so it can integrated in very different environments.

hi eelco, You're right, if you really want, you can use URL based authorization. you got me wrong, i was thinking to integrate acegi into the app like wasp/swarm is doing and so have an acegi-interface that can be used on component-level. so, best of both worlds. best regards, --- jan.

I am sorry if i made you think i was accusing you of starting a framework war, i was merely stating i didn't want to start one :). I am only just reading up on acegi, but what i learned so far is that acegi was designed for spring just like swarm is for wicket so trying to integrate either in the

hi martijn, what i really dislike about acegi is the spring/xml-stuff. but that's another story... ;-) If you take the spring/xml and the URL based authorization out of Acegi, what is left? Not a stab at Acegi, just asking. hehe - now i'm having to argue pro acegi where i'm not yet

hi eelco, It's definitively possible to use Acegi ACL stuff with Wicket's auth model. You'll have to build it yourself, but once you know you're way around Acegi and you exactly what your requirements are, implementing it shouldn't be too difficult. see my post to martijn - having the

True, Swarm does not yet provide blackbox authentication against ldap, cas or whatever else, but it allows you to customize your own authentication allowing you to implement any of those models. And the time not spend on fixing all your urls for acegi can now be spend on implementing cas or ldap

And the time not spend on fixing all your urls for acegi Acegi is layered. It has auth models that don't depend on URLs. For instance there is a fairly sophisticated (at least at first sight) ACL mechanism last time I looked. Eelco
