Multiple web.FilterSecurityInterceptor-s per filter

[geodavid]

Hi,

we are appling Acegi security to large Spring-Struts web based application.

There are several modules which have its own spring context and struts xml configuration files. We would like each module also have a dedicated acegi security xml file that will contain method invocation and url security declarations.

Is to possible to specify several FilterSecurityInterceptors ( one for each module ) and apply for SecurityEnforcementFilter ?

Thanks.

Yes, you can have multiple SecurityEnforcementFilers in your IoC context. You could either chain all of them in web.xml, or simply rely on distinct filter-mapping declarations for each module.

The FilterToBeanProxy accepts a targetBean initialization parameter, which can be used to diffferentiate the various SecurityEnforcementFilter instances.
