Rule engine to restrict access to content.

[Sunil Dhage <su...@coreobjects.com>]

Hi,
I was searching for some rule based frameworks so as to restrict the access to the content.  I have went through nabble, googled and many more.
I could read about sling, webdav,etc.  But my requirement is I need some rules, which should govern the access rights to the content and those should be configurable.

If somebody had a similar hit, please provide your inputs.

Well, you might want to user our access policy framework (including API 
and a default implementation) located at

https://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/security/trunk

whereas Yanel is using this and will find some documentation at

http://www.yanel.org/en/documentation/security/overview.html
http://www.yanel.org/en/documentation/security/access-policies.html

whereas thes security package itself is independent of Yanel and should
also be able to use together with some other Jackrabbit based application

HTH

Maybe this post might be of help;
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@jackrabbit.apache.org/msg12371.html

'I found more suitable for my application to store the access rights
on the role instead of nodes. This approach is named "Capability
Model".'

Maybe his approach doesn't meet your requirements, but you might use
his implementation as a template for one of your own.
