Spring security: External Authorization

[karthik chellappan]

I successfully completed login module of my application using spring security's inbuilt authentication & authorization mechanism.But later i was told to check if i can integrate `WSO2` (`SOA solution as external Authorization mechanism`) with `Spring` security so that i can use Spring security's authentication mechanism alone and `WSO2` for authorization instead of using Spring security provided Authorization.

I did search & read the documentation and i could get details about using External authentication with Spring security & nothing about External authorization.I would like to know if i can do the same and also how i can do it.

You could implement your own AccessDecisionManager or your own Voter implementation and inject it into your configuration.
