Gerry, Not sure if you have looked at it, but look at the Fulcrum Security code. This is a pluggable security framework that makes it easy to roll your own implementation. http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/fulcrum/fulcrum-security/index.html will get you to the online info, however, what is in CVS has been highly improved. Just working on finishing updating the docs.
If you look at the unit tests, you can see how you can use Turbine's security, but delegate through an adapter to this pluggable security engine.
