Overriding Turbine Security Service

[ja...@chennai.tcs.co.in]

Hi all,

I am a newbee to turbine framework.

Kudos to turbine developers and it is the best framework i have seen.  Torque and Velocity
makes development so easy.
I happened to have a look at scarab also.  It had lot of new concepts and i wonder how
many people know of the wonderful framework.


   I am developing a slashdot type site [Forum] using turbine.  First thing i wanted was
to override the turbine security framework.
I wanted to override it to get more control in my code.  I have made a class inheriting
from TurbineUser and created a UserManager.  Is that all to it?

  Exactly how can the Turbine Security framework can overridden to write a custom security
service?

Is Turbine 3.0(any release) available right now?

Again turbine & torque  are wonderful.

Thanks,
Jayson

Hi Jayson,

There are a few things you can do.  Firstly you can provide your own 
SecurityService by subclassing from the BaseSecurityService class 
(located in org.apache.turbine.services.security package).

Then you'll have to reconfigure Turbine to recognise this new security 
service in the TurbineResources.properties file (located in your 
WEB-INF/conf directory).  The current configured line should be:

services.SecurityService.classname=org.apache.turbine.services.security.db.DBSecurityService

rewrite as

services.SecurityService.classname=<your_package>.<your_security_service_class>

You'll probably also want to have a look at the code behind Turbine's 
DBSecurityService, go to 
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/xref/org/apache/turbine/services/security/db/DBSecurityService.html

Or you can look at the code of every class at: 
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/xref/index.html

cheers,
CP
