Hi Sean,

 

Thanks for the tip.  I've taken the sub-classing route and my initial prototyping looks good.  :D

Either of these should work:

 

1)  write a custom servlet filter

2)  subclass OpenAMF's gateway servlet

Does anyone have any tips on how I could secure my OpenAMF services?  

 

My goal is to initially be able to have call level authentication and authorization against my application user database.  Later the authorization should be data (call parameter) specific, but that can wait.  I'd prefer to use HTTP Basic Auth, grab the user credentials, authenticate and move on. 

 

But I can't see how to do this.  My only idea so far is to pass the user credentials as parameters in the method invocation...which is inelegant. 

 

Currently my openamf-config.xml file is using the AdvancedGateway, and there is mention of state-bean tag in the examples download...but...I'm just a bit to dumb to figure it out. 

 

Any high level advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

 

Stu
