Interface SecurityGateway

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractSecurityGateway, DummySecurityGateway

Deprecated. currently unused - staying there for now just as a reminder

public interface SecurityGateway

A SecurityGateway will often be specific to a berkano subapplication?.. then the getRoles method would only return the roles of that app... And each app would register its own SecurityGateway in its own picocontainer?? that sounds interesting See the Gateway pattern in M.Fowler's book. It might also be seen as some sort of Adapter(GOF) Also check Mapper(Fowler) and ServiceStub(Fowler)
