I'm using Servlets/JSP/JSTL. It is a basic web app, but it is commercial (security is a key issue), and implementing/handling the security features is quite a task by itself. What I'm looking for is some kind of framework that can manage all these tasks... roles, user hierarchy, permissions, identity, session control, unauthorized access blocking, and that's pretty much what JBoss Portal offers out-of-the-box, creating the required DB structure and managing it.
That's why Portal interested me, but I was not allowed to use Portal as-is, so I wanted to take from it only the features we are interested in, and that's why I think Identity and Security can help me.
I know that the web front-end of it will be done by me, but handling lower level of it will be very helpful.
Thanks again.

[Beginners Corner] - JB Security + JB Identity
by mad_rug
Hi
I'm developing a web application and was thinking of using Portal for it, but it is being ruled out for providing much more features that we do not need, and in fact may give us extra work. I do need user authentication, security, user roles and such, but there are no needs for portlets, WSRP, CMS, forums and most of other Portal features. We would need to remove many of them, and redesign it completely (we aim for a very simple design, no eye candy), almost trashing all its visual frontend.
Is it possible to quickly (and easily, I hope), integrate the security and identity projects with a generic web app, without further requirements or dependencies? I'm using JBoss AS 4.2.1, and will use JBoss Cache in the future.
Thanks.
