Is it possible to use SpringSecurity (formerly known as Acegi) with RAP?

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'd say - it depends :D ... on how you
want to use SpringSecurity ...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">From the docs there are 3 main features
that SpringSecurity supports:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1) Authentication</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2) WebRequest Security</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3) Service Layer and domain object security.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Without digging depper into this: I
can't find any reasons why 1+3 wouldn't work.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have my doubts regarding 2).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">RAP uses the same URL most of the time
- so you wouldn't have any fine grained control over what is allowed and
what not. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So on the web-request layer you'd only
be able to use SpringSecurity on a full or no-access basis.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Anyway: Any application with rich ajax-support
(and without the 'classical' web-flow) would suffer the same problem.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If you start with SpringSecurity you
should also have a look on the thread 'Integrating Spring' .. maybe you
need the techniques described there as well, because RAP has a slightly
different use of Threads than normal apps.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Spring often puts data in the ThreadLocals
of the requests, which isn't enough because your code in RAP runs in a
different thread.</font>
