Custom Authorization Providers

If you wish to write a custom authorization provider for blojsom, you must implement the AuthorizationProvider interface. You can find more information about this interface from the AuthorizationProvider javadoc API.

After writing a custom authorization provider, you will need to make it available in /WEB-INF/classes/blojsom.xml under the authorizationProvider bean ID.

<!-- Authorization provider -->
    <bean id="authorizationProvider" class="my.custom.namespace.CustomAuthorizationProvider"
          init-method="init">
    <!-- Any properties would be set as here and can use other blojsom components as required -->        
    </bean>
