I think a good reference book would be great too. I like Shiro but it is definitely lacking on the documentation side. I would like it to include:
- A thorough description of its internals to make the reader understand how Shiro works and also how to extend Shiro - The most important use cases. For me that is not traditional server based web programming but clean Ajax and REST. I think these areas (especially Ajax) needs improvement in Shiro. On the REST side I think its important to give some hints on best practice. /Bengt 2013/8/19 David Hoffer <[email protected]> > I think it should be comprehensive, it should cover all the functionality > of the current version and if there is something it the near term pipeline > it should include that too.
