How to implement row-level security in Java?

Question

I am currently evaluating authentication / authorization frameworks.

Apache Shiro seems to be very nice but I am missing row-level security features

Answer 1

We implemented it as JDBC wrapper. This wrapper simply parses and transforms SQL. Hibernate filter is good idea too but we have many reports and ad-hoc queries, Hibernate is not the only tool to access data in our applications. jsqlparser is an excellent open source SQL parser but we have to fork it to fix some issues and to add support of some advanced SQL features e.g. ROLLUP for reporting purposes https://github.com/jbaliuka/sql-analytic This reporting tool is also available on github but there is no dependency on row level security infrastructure https://github.com/jbaliuka/x4j-analytic
