Apache Shiro

From Seo Wiki - Search Engine Optimization and Programming Languages

Apache Shiro (formerly known as Apache jSecurity) is a java security framework designed to have a clean object model, and easy to plugin. Apache Ki has been renamed to Apache Shiro .^[1]

[edit] Overview

Shiro is designed to be easier to use than JAAS and to be accessible to non-java applications. Shiro supports Role and User permissions, and has bindings for web applications (JSecurityFilter). The permissions can be stored on a LDAP or on a database (via JDBC). It also integrates with Spring framework

[edit] Example

 //Permissions can be checked using object-based permissions
 PrinterPermission perm = new PrinterPermission("hplaserjet");
 
 if(perm.isPermitted()) {
     //show print button  
 } else {
     //grey out button 
 }
