Three State Permission System

Hi
The JAAS authorization mechanism is based on TWO-STATE permissions:
-HAS PERMISSION
-HAS NOT PERMISSION.

Has any one have seen or tried to implement a THREE-STATE permissions
system:
-HAS PERMISSION,
-HAS NOT PERMISSION,
-NO COMMENT.

Is JAAS a suitable framework for such a thing? or I should create a
custom framework from base?

Thanx,
Amir Pashazadeh

"State" is too abstract.
What behaviour do you want on "NO COMMENT" status?
Let access, deney access, hang up the system, start the World War III,
... ?
