Looking at it Acegi seems a little overkill for what I want to do I think. I just want a hook into the request pipeline that allows me to check a user's session validity. From what I can tell from Acegi, there are a lot of other concerns and packages that it worries about. Our authentication system exists elsewhere so all this is doing is checking that the current session is recognized by that other system. We are porting over from a homegrown framework into T5. We have a mechanism currently that suits our needs but just want to have the ability to have this check on pages we specify using an annotation or something. I found off the website a page on Service builders. In particular the Pipelining service builder seems like what I want. What I don't understand I guess is what is a service? Can I add a service builder that all page requests call implicitly? It seems from the examples a bulider is tied to one particular service or filter.
Steven, Can you elaborate on your solution? Did you use an in-memory map of the user ids and roles? If not, what did you do? I'm having trouble understanding the necessary parts in getting Acegi to work properly.
