Hi Dave,

This is definitely a great start for supporting Flex!  I'm glad to see
you're able to help!

In anything you submit, the best way to do it is as a patch to the
project if possible and submit that patch to Jira.  Out of curiosity,
does it use FlexMojos to build?

I do have a couple of quick questions though:

Your first JavaDoc comment states "Authentication and Authorization
need to let AMF Ping, Login, Logout messages pass through without
processing."  What does that mean exactly?

Also, in the past, I typically have created a SubjectService that can
be called from Flex that really just mimics the Subject API, and
that's how the Flex client interacted w/ Shiro if ever necessary.  Do
you guys use a similar set-up?  Does this have any relation to the
classes you listed below?

Best,

Les
