This filter already knows the WebEnvironment https://github.com/steinarb/oldalbum/blob/master/oldalbum.web.security/src/main/java/no/priv/bang/oldalbum/web/security/OldAlbumShiroFilter.java#L58 It knows nothing about the database status, however. But since this is OSGi I can get an OldAlbumService injected: https://github.com/steinarb/oldalbum/blob/master/oldalbum.services/src/main/java/no/priv/bang/oldalbum/services/OldAlbumService.java#L30 And then I can call OldAlbumService.fetchAllRoutes() to get all paths that have login settings and add them to the urls section (so to speak), in the correct order. The would require a restart to pick up any filter changes, but it is a start. Further possible approaches: 1. Create some form of callback that can send allroutes up to the filter when it changes 2. Create a custom filter that calls to the backend to find paths to filter Alterative 2 is cleanest but I worry about the performance about doing a database operation for each call.
