Group and acl on Spring Security

Question

I want to use Spring Security to manage user, group and permissions.

I want to use ACL to secure my domain objects but I can\'t find a way to assign a group to an acl.

Answer 1

I would just use your Groups like Roles. I've found the Spring ACL implementation to be pretty unwieldy and for the most part unusable. Just assign users to "groups" (Roles in all actuality) and check them as you would normal role based authorization.
