custom JACC provider

[ghjboss]

Can somebody show me the complete steps to build a custom JACC provider in the JBoss?
I've looked through this forum and collect some information relevant to this topic. But I do not see a complete guidance.
My goal is to integrate the XACML to my security layer for the authorization purpose. I hope I am heading to the right approach.
Any input is appreciated.

JACC is a specification that ties in the authorization world to the java permission based model.

Since you have a need for xacml, you will have to do a lot of work, in mapping the xacml request/response semantics to the permissions model. I am not sure if this is worth the effort.

At JBoss, we have been thinking about the Authorization space, with a model that is extensible. Jacc, xacml and ws-* specs can be implementation details.

There is a feature request for xacml impl:
