JAAS in merlin?

[Andreas Oberhack <de...@softwarefabrik.biz>]

Is - or was - there any activity to integrate security functionality like
JAAS into the merlin container?

Thanks

Andreas

Sounds good. I can imagine it requires some serious thinking to get it 
right...

Right, that's why I was asking. My idea is, to give the developers
access to the security mechanisms through the context.

What do you think?

Not that I am aware of.

I did some development on JAAS related principal establishment a couple 
of years ago and basically setup a framework for the establishment of 
the principal as a value resolvable via the constext object. The actual 
implementation was rather specific in that it was tied to a keystore 
based authentication mechanisms. 

I do think that JAAS based principal establishment is something that 
should be handled by the container as this will be needed as we move 
forward on distributed service management.
