I read the spec a few times already. I'm going to read it again, of
course. I find it difficult to understand for "outsiders", those who
never done JACC before. If this JSR had sample code, it wouldn't hurt.
Actually, the goal of my project is to show how to integrate this
authorization engine as JACC provider, so it'll serve as a sample for
other developers.

I figured that I'd need to write some container-specific code.
Perhaps, when I posted the question, I really meant to ask what are
the glassfish-specific steps I have to do in order to develop a JACC
provider.
