refactor for easier extensibility of seam identity: seam identiy interface + seam identity base impl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2240 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2240 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Security Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA Reporter: koen handekyn Assignee: Shane Bryzak Priority: Optional to allow easier extensibility of the seam identity class it would be useful to have a clear seam identity interface with complementary base impl from (package org.jboss.seam.security) use case: i'm trying to define my own seam identiy that contains as an extra parameter domain (login@domain/password). to have a complete implementation (which also saves the domain into a cookie) i'm stuck as 1. i don't know have an interface that I should satisfy if I wanted to make an implementation from scratch 2. extending from seam idenity has some issues : i missing some protected accessors to some private members (that maybe could be protected?) alternatively my question would be solved if i could have extension points within initFromCookie and at "setCookieValueIfEnabled( getUsername() ); from method postAuthenticate()" such that i could combine and split login and domain when saving/reading the cookie.
