actually, if it's possible, instead of using the ACL classes,
we prefer you to implement your own
permissions (based on java.security.Permission or
java.security.BasicPermission) and then piggyback off the
existing access control architecture implemented by
java.lang.SecurityManager. that way you can also use
the existing access control policy as well.
some tutorials which might help you get started
(and determine if this is feasible) are located at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/security1.2/index.html
of particular interest would be the trail which teaches you how
to implement your own permission:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/security1.2/userperm/index.html
hopefully that is helpful.
thanks,
charlie
