Thanks for answer. mod_perl (*) is what I was looking for. But is there any Java-based solution like mod_perl available too?
Nothing simple that I know of.Apart from C or Perl, which integrate directly into Apache, you would have to create some external module which does what you want, and then find a way to retrieve this information and pass it to Apache. It would probably be relatively inefficient if this has to be done at every call, and for every request you need to start an external process e.g.
Unless you want to write your own add-on module in C, I believe in this case mod_perl is really what fits, because it will allow you to write something that really integrates in the Apache logic at a deep level, while being at a level of complexity below a C add-on module.
Question of taste of course.But can you give us an idea of what kind of access control/authentication/authorization you are looking for ? I mean for instance based on which criteria ? I have written a few AAA modules using mod_perl, and could at least give you an idea of how complex it would be to do what you want. There are also a lot of mod_perl AAA modules available, and since thy are open source, you can easily get an existing one and modify it in function of your own needs.
Look also here e.g. : http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/search?query=auth&mode=dist No need to re-invent the wheel. André

I suggest that you first have a look at the existing Apache add-on modules, they already provide many possibilities. Check the on-line documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/#A (all the ones starting with mod_auth..) and if that does not cover your needs, I would suggest using mod_perl to write your own. See http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/http.html (see PerlAccessHandler etc..) and http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/Access.html and if that is still not what you are looking for, then give some more details about what you would like to do, and maybe someone here could orient you better.
