Package org.springframework.security.acls

package org.springframework.security.acls

The Spring Security ACL package which implements instance-based security for domain objects.

Consider using the annotation based approach (@PreAuthorize, @PostFilter annotations) combined with a AclPermissionEvaluator in preference to the older and more verbose attribute/voter/after-invocation approach from versions before Spring Security 3.0.
