The way that comes to mind would be to make your own
AuthenticationProvider. Depending on your needs [e.g. if you need built
in AppFuse features like roles] you may need to extend the
DaoAuthenticationProvider so you can still use the AppFuse User object
as your UserDetails object.
Does that make sense?

Nathan: Yes the plan is to use the webservice as the authentication
mechanism. We're using SSL so not worrying about encryption at this time.
What i want to be able to do it use all the features of appfuse like the
security filter etc. but just do the authentication through the webservice.
Mike: The webservice is the authentication method - the client i have sends
the username and password that is entered on screen and instead of the
authenticationManager using the appfuse way i need to set it depends on the
result of the webservice call - you sort of get me?
Many Thanks

Thanx Mike i've now got that working and talking to the webservice.
Woohoo
-
i'm thinknig that was the easy part compared to what i now have to do. I
have to use an 'authenticAccount' method on the webservice to authentic
the
user which simply takes the username & password and returns me true or
false
depending if the attempt was successful . How the hell to i get this to
work
with the acegisecurity authenticationManager used in appfuse. Is this
possible? I've no idea how to go about doing this :(
Let me make sure I understand your requirements: you need each user to
authenticate individually with the web service? As in user makes request,
server authenticates with webservice on user behalf per request?
You can obtain the user object from the current security context easily
enough, but the passwords used in AppFuse are stored using a one way hash.
So they are unlikely to be able to be used as is with your web service. I
would suggest you take a look at the following classes to get an idea of
what needs to be done (you should be able to open the source in your ide,
or
download the sources from http://static.appfuse.org/repository and attach
as
needed):
UserSecurityAdvice (how to get hold of the current security context)
and
UserFormController (how to encrypt passwords).
Mike.
Any help would be greatful

Yup. Add the attribute destroy-method="destroy_method_name".

Guys & Girls,
I'm using the appfuse jsf framework - we need to talk to a
webservice,
i
have already been given a java client class which talks to the
service
-
however i'm unsure of the best way or how to load this client and
run
its
init method on server startup? I've had look on here, and at the
StartupListener in the org.appfuse.webapp.listener package - do i
need
to
write my own listener that extents this? i'm confused? I see
another
way
is
to use sumthing called Quartz? whats this and how do i use that?
The easiest way to get you class up and running is probably to
configure
it
in Spring as a bean. You can get Spring to call the init method when
it
starts up the class by adding the attribute
init-method="method_name"
on
the
bean definition.
Quartz is a job scheduler: http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/. You
would
use Quartz if, for instance, you wanted to call your web service
every
day
at 23h00.
Mike.
Any help on how to do this would be very greatful :)
Thanx Sion
