All you need is this: | | <core:filter name="clientFilter" enabled="#{identity.loggedIn}"> | | <core:name>clientFilter</core:name> | | <core:parameters> | | <key>clientId</key> | | <value>#{clientId}</value> | | </core:parameters> | | </core:filter> | | It's really as easy as that :-) Just curious.. Is there a way to attach the filter to all of the entities without the annotations shown in the other posting? I had originally thought of doing it via an aspect but I like the idea of the filters shown here. I'd like to avoid the annotations on every entity. (I guess I'm lazy!! :-) ) Thanks!!! Gary PS. I guess I shouldn't say "every" entity. There will be ones excluded... View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4059346#...
