--------------------------------------

SimpleAccountRealm extends AuthorizingRealm that is RolePermissionResolverAware, no?

> It seems to be a valid use case to have an external user management system (ldap, active directory, etc) manage users and the roles that they are in.  However, since permissions are often application-dependent, it is not uncommon to map roles to permissions at the application level.  The shiro.ini file seems a perfect place to do this, but it is non-trivial to allow a different realm (again, ldap or active directory) to use the role->permission mappings place in the ini file.  If the SimpleAccountRealm implemented RolePermissionResolver, then it could be done as simply as:
> myRealm = com.example.MyCustomRealm
> myRealm.rolePermissionResolver = $iniRealm
