User Management Component

Hi all,

I'm looking for a quite generic user management component with Users,
Roles, UserGroups etc. So far I've found an article about "tapestry" at
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-06-2001/jw-0615-tapestry.html but
the link to tapestry is broken and I couldn't find it somewhere else.
There is another "tapestry" at http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry but this
one seems to be a complete web application framework. Any hints about
this or other similar frameworks?

Kind regards

robert

That was my impression, too. Tapestry as a user management framework
doesn't seem to exist anymore, although it looked very promising in the
JavaWorld article.

There is not much concerning user management components in the web. Some
projects seem to use the Jakarta Turbine component for this (it has
groups, roles etc.). There was another sourceforge project which
implemented a user management component (forgot the name). However if
you look for a good open source solution - bad luck.

Exactly.

This one? http://sourceforge.net/projects/ccmdev/
Or this one? http://sourceforge.net/projects/talea/ Seems quite dead.

Hmmm... I tried to Google this but apparently I didn't get the query
right because I was either buried in results or left staring at an empty
result list. :-}

Thanks for commenting!
