OACC Java Application Security Framework
What is OACC?
OACC - pronounced [oak] - is a fully featured API to both enforce and manage your application's authentication and authorization needs.
In a nutshell, OACC provides permission-based authorization services and allows your application to enforce security by answering the question:
Is entity 'A' allowed to perform action 'p' on entity 'B'?
Features
Fully implemented API
All the functionality to manage your application's security model, out of the box.Single access-control paradigm

Secure any operation between your domain objects and the actors on them.Permission delegation
Authorize subjects to delegate their permissions to others with GRANT OPTIONS.Identity delegation
Authorize an authenticated subject to securely "impersonate" another subject.Efficient query methods
Find resources by permission with efficient symmetric query methods.
Learn more about all of OACC's authorization and authentication features on the Features page of the project website.

<dependency>
<groupId>com.acciente.oacc</groupId>
<artifactId>acciente-oacc</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
To install, configure and initialize the OACC database, please refer to the Get Started Tutorial on the project website.
The SecureTodo sample application illustrates how to integrate OACC into a Java application and how to address several real-world authorization scenarios. The writeup is also available in the Github repository that contains the full source code.
