optionally login-require in a more specific page should be able to override a wildcard login-require
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1009
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1009
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Patch
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0.GA
         Environment: all
            Reporter: Leo Baschy


This should be optional to switch on, so no one's existing expectations of security get broken.

The point is about having a generic wildcard  <page view-id="*" scheme="http" login-required="true">  to secure the whole site, and then allowing specific pages or specific wildcards to have login-required="false".  E.g. for a registration (with preview) section as one cannot be logged in if one isn't registered yet.

Some may suggest instead forcing pages into dedicated secure and not-secure directories, but in reality if there are multiple reasons to force pages into directories different ways (security, hyperlink management, publishability of URLs, etc.), one cannot serve all of them.
