Description

Manuel EVENO (Migrated from SEC-2524) said:

processDomainObjectClass and requirePermision attribute are set in construction in org.springframework.security.acls.AclEntryVoter.

It would be great to be able to determine thoses elements dynamically to avoid declaring multiple Voter for the various domain object to secure.
As an example, we could use permission configured and stored in a database.

Research direction

Start by reading org.springframework.security.acls.AclEntryVoter and how processDomainObjectClass and requirePermision are currently set during construction. Define how those values should be determined dynamically, including the database-backed permission example, and verify the design against multiple secured domain objects.
