    <p>I have an application which uses Spring for backend and ExtJs for UI.</p> <p>In this application, users can have variours roles and access rights.</p> <p>When a user logs in and opens a form, then depending upon her role, its decided that which fields will be displayed to her.</p> <p>For handling this, we have done following two things:</p> <p><em>1. Enclosed the JS code (code which needs to be filtered on basis of role) in spring security tags following way:</em></p> <pre><code>&lt; tag start &gt; js code &lt; / tag end &gt; </code></pre> <p><em>2. Saved all js files as jsp, for example, instead of having a file as test.js - we changed it to test.js.jsp. This forces the backend to parse the security tags before delivering the code to client side.</em></p> <p>Though this works fine, but there are following issues which we are ambigous about:</p> <p><strong>a. Is this the best way of implementing such thing? What other way could this be acheived?</strong></p> <p><strong>b. After converting js to jsp, the compression tools for JS are not able to minify it due to presence of spring security tags. Could something be done about it?</strong></p> <p>Looking forward to guidance at above.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

    1. COOne thing to keep in mind: Never, ever trust a remote client application to enforce security. Treat every form submission in security-sensitive applications as if they were dangerous toxic chemicals. No matter how comprehensive your JS/client-side security mechanisms are, you need to replicate all of it on the server side when the form is submitted.

    2. COVery True Jason, and yes, we do recheck things at server-side after form submission. But this issue unfortunately is about having a check on which fields should get displayed (or are active) for a user. Any ideas on that? Thanks again.

    3. COI've had the same issue and am using nearly the same solution that you are. The only difference is that I use custom tags that call Spring Security rather than Spring tags. That provides some customization in a few situations where it is needed.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
