[Yanel-dev] Overwriting the identityManager

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

It would be nice if one would be able to overwrite the IdentityManager. 
At the moment one can only overwrite the YarepImplementation, but in the 
case of LDAP this is not sufficient.

Hence I would like to suggest the following enhancement for the realm.config

<ac-identities 
class="foo.bar.wyona.security.impl.IdentityManagerFactoryImpl">
  <foo-bar:ldap-config 
xmlns:naz="http://www.bar.foo/wyona/1.0">...</foo-bar:ldap-config>
  ...
</ac-identities>

whereas we would need to enhance the Realm class 
(src/core/java/org/wyona/yanel/core/map/Realm.java) slightly when 
loading the FactoryImpl

IdentityManagerFactory imFactory = (IdentityManagerFactory) 
yanel.getBeanFactory().getBean("IdentityManagerFactory");

which is currently the default, but should be overwritten (resp. 
refactored) when a class attribute is being set within the realm config.

Also of course the custom config needs to be passed to this Custom 
Factory (for instance as DOM).

<yanel:ac-identities-custom-config>
....
</yanel:ac-identities-custom-config>

WDYT?

Cheers

Michi
