Hi, I'm using XDoclet CVS (08/08/02) but with the bog-standard Data Objects and I'm puzzling over column level security and wondering if XDoclet can already help me here.
I have an entity called Staff which has many fields...for example: * surname * firstname * telephone_number When I return the data to the persistence layer (and ultimately to the front end) I have different security roles, and each role can see a different set of data.....I want to restrict the data as close to the source as possible (though not in the database itself). E.g admin-role --> can see * normal-role --> can only see surname and firstname (and telephone_no is blocked). AFAIK, EJB-QL understands the concept of objects rather than attributes so I can only do row level security using EJB-QL (correct?) But I want to do column level security. Is this something that XDoclet (and Value Objects?) can help me with? Is anyone else doing this successfully already? (or is there an alternative and better approach?).
