The purpose of this page is to describe how to integrate Acegi Security into pre-1.8 applications, and how to revert back to container-managed authentication. The nice thing about migrating to Acegi Security is your application becomes more portable and you don't have to worry about configuring your application server. Also, there weren't many code changes involved in the integration process - which proves Acegi Security works very well with all the existing code that talks to the security methods of the Servlet API (i.e. request.isUserInRole(), etc.)
