This Attributes implementation will return security configuration for classes described using the Secured Java 5 annotation.

The SecurityAnnotationAttributes implementation can be used to configure a MethodDefinitionAttributes and MethodSecurityInterceptor bean definition (see below).

For example:

<bean id="attributes" 
 class="org.acegisecurity.annotation.SecurityAnnotationAttributes"/><bean id="objectDefinitionSource" 
 class="org.acegisecurity.intercept.method.MethodDefinitionAttributes">    <property name="attributes">
 <ref local="attributes"/>    </property></bean><bean id="securityInterceptor" 
 class="org.acegisecurity.intercept.method.aopalliance.MethodSecurityInterceptor">     . . .
 <property name="objectDefinitionSource">         <ref local="objectDefinitionSource"/>     </property>
 </bean>

These security annotations are similiar to the Commons Attributes approach, however they are using Java 5 language-level metadata support.

This class should be used with Spring 2.0 or above, as it relies upon utility classes in Spring 2.0 for correct introspection of annotations on bridge methods.
