I am having a hard time understanding JAAS. It all seems more complicated than it should be (especially the Sun tutorials). I need a simple tutorial or example on how to implement security (authentication + authorization) in java application based on Struts + Spring + Hibernate with custom user repository. Can be implemented using ACEGI.
Here are some of the links I used to help understand JAAS:
