auth taglib ready
Hi all,
a (very) first version of my auth taglib is ready. Presently it
authenticates against a database and that's it. I hope to get some space
soon so I can put it up. Meanwhile, if anyone wants it, drop me a short
note and I mail it out. It includes docs (Yeah!) and a sample.

Attatched is my <small> security taglib that protects sections
of documents with container roles.
It's all yours.
Btw, could you send me your code?
Thanks. :-)

Currently a whole document, but I plan to do sections as well.

Yes, I want to do that, but XML is not a database. So when you get to
the point, where you store your employees' addresses in an XML file and
let everyone edit his and only his address in that file, then you should
really think about a database :)

Perhaps XSP can be redesigned to avoid this limit. In my mind this is
very important to fix.

well done!
One question ...
Is the auth TagLib designed to "protect" a whole document, or just a
section of it?
I was thinking recently of a TagLib (or XSLT Extension ?) that could
protect individual fragments of a document.
ie. if you have the correct authentication, you can see more of the
document than if you do not have the authentication.
What do you think?
The problem I see with this would be having to make your data XML documents
into XSP, with all the problems of the 64K limit.
I wonder if an XSLT Extension could get around this?
regards Jeremy
