Turbine and JAAS

Has anybody looked into adding support for JAAS to
Turbine's user model? Any hints?

JAAS: http://java.sun.com/products/jaas/

I think that the place of JAAS is really the application server.
The application would have to provide it's own LoginModule and 
PolicyProvider and off it goes... Unfortunately J2EE specs don't
include JAAS yet.

We *could* implement a JAAS based system, but I'm not sure if it
really fits in Turbine's scope. The current security system allows
you to solve most of web application's authentications/authorization
needs, and I can tell you that more cool stuff is going to appear...
