[Red5] Acegi Security Example

[mattmadhavan]

Hello vicnov,
No I beg to differ. I am sure there can be a solution like GraniteDS which
is very simple and elegant. Sice Red5 is also supposedly implemented using
Spring it should be straight forward. Its that I am scrtching my head with
my understanding of red5. The documentation is very poor.

During Thanksgiving, I reached out to some Red5 experts/consultants and the
wanted charge muliplt hundreds of dollars per hr for consulting. (Sigh!).

Anyway from the feature list, it looks like a great product, I just wish it
is more open and transparent like other open source products like BlazeDS
and GraniteDs and the numerous Apache products.

Let us see how we can go forward.

Thanks
Matt
