I can't tell well enough what you want here.  I think you may want to implement a custom jacc implementation.  You might want something like triplesec.  But without much clearer goals we won't get too far.

> Apache Geronimo to enable the developer to implement custom and complex security models, such as role hierarchies and permission inheritance between roles. This can be accomplished by adding an optional parameter to the security realm options specifying some class to intercept and handle the authorization to EJBs, WebServices and web content (JSP, html etc) by applying custom and application specific authorization based on information stored in somewhere else (like a DBMS).
> This enables an application to allow its users to change the EJB methods and content permissions through the application itself. The authentication and authorization settings is widely wrongly assigned to deployment time, while it must be assigned much of it to run time.
> An example of this is the JBoss SX approach to this subject. An application security realm is configured to use an "authorization manager", which is a class that implements org.jboss.security.SecurityProxy. And it handles the requests to all the resources like EJBs.
