[Cosmo-dev] WebDAV ACL model thoughts

[Vinubalaji Gopal]

Hi all,
  I have put my thoughts and Randy's suggestion on the model at the
following page. 
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/WebDavACLModelThoughts

I think implementing the new acegi interface (from the sandbox) will be
most ideal (the third option in the list) and/or use some of the
existing implementations. The other acl interfaces in the acegi sandbox
code seems to be more flexible and easier to understand.

Apart from that acegi does not support a Hibernate dao in favor of jdbc
for better performance (there is a jira issue about hibernate dao
support but it has been ignored in favor of the jdbc dao). So I would
also be implementing this dao's.

I am worried about the performance issues since accessing each item will
involve a few more database fetches. I am thinking of some kind of nice
caching strategy for better performance and I am sure that Hibernate
will help to achieve this using ehcache, etc. Of course that will be at
a later stage, first will be proof of concept of a working group based
access :).

thoughts?
