Code is available at URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs/dhis2/d2s2ss2 . S2 is most resent upgrade for webwork and ss2 is for acegy security, especially ss2 is used as is, without customization, each URL can have its own security credentials. From this standpoint we are free to define ROLES and set of roles (most common use cases into one role). All security concerns are now in one single XML file and easy to understand and exists independent of other frameworks in DHIS2. We can also use method level security, if method namings are appropriate using AOP. Please share your experiences, type of user roles you have, so we can adjust system to host that functionality.

A comment: One problem with having all security concerns in one single
XML file is modularization and local modules. How should the local
indian/vietnamese modules deal with this? How can we easily swap
modules in and out with this setup?
