Well, I did have a glance at it the time I was looking for a security solution. But to me it appeared the easiest to go with tapestry-spring-security, mainly due to the ease of initial integration. The documentation of tynamos tapestry-seems to be quite good as well. From looking at the examples page, I'd either have to create a new Realm for security check against my database or simply add another Filter. I'll have a look at their test suite today to get to know it a little better.

I could not really find a comparison of the different security enhancements for Tapestry, so out of curiousity: What are your experiences with Security Frameworks, which implementation are you using?

Cheers

Hi

Have you looked in to tynamo security project ?

Hi Christophe,

yes, I have read that article before, but admit that I could not grasp all
the details by that time and therefore decided to go with
tapestry-spring-security. A lot of knowledge has been gained in between
though, so I will re-read and think about option 3 (re-implementing security
with my own requirements). This will take a tad longer, but probably benefit
a lot in terms of learning curve.

Cheers

  Hi
Have already read this article [1] from Howard, it explains how to secure
an
application via Annotations and shows the pipeline as well

Hi everyone,

I created a Service, contributeded it as Dispatcher to check on request
of
secured pages (using tapestry-spring-security with @Secured annotation)
whether the user profile has all required fields filled out. In case,
information is missing, the user is forwarded to his profile page and
requested to update the required fields.

So far so good, following the AccessController example from the Tapestry
HowTos I could build the service and add it to the Dispatcher Pipeline:
--- (important part from AccessController):
Component page = componentSource.getPage(pageName);
    boolean privatePage = page.getClass().getAnnotation( Secured.class )
!=
null;

    if (privatePage)
    {
      canAccess = false;
      /* Is the user already authentified ? */
      if(asm.exists(User.class))
      {
        User user = asm.get(User.class);
        canAccess = user.getUserProfile().isComplete();
        System.out.println("user " + user.getUsername() + " has completed
his profile: " + canAccess);
      }
    }
---
public static void
contributeMasterDispatcher(OrderedConfiguration<Dispatcher>
  configuration,
AccessController accessController){
        configuration.add("AccessWithCompleteProfileController",
accessController, "after:*");
}
---

My problem is apparently  with the sequence of the pipeline, as with the
above stated "after:*" the service never is actually executed (simple
System
out calls to check), with "before:*" I get an redirect error from the
server
("indefinite loop") and without any declaration it again is not called at
all.

I'd appreciate a little guidance on the correct way to solve that issue.
I
see the following options:
1. Get AccessController invoked as the last service in Dispatcher
pipeline
(all other checks done before). I suspect SecurityChecker to break the
line.
2. Figure out whether User is logged in already and do not break the
chain
in AccessController if User is not logged in. Next page request will do
the
check.
3. Implement my own Security Checker and include the AccessController
into
that code.

Regards
Daniel
