I've done only a little research on it, but my understanding is that JAAS *is* a
framework. You just have to write the authentication code. Perhaps you're
looking for a specific JAAS implementation to work with whatever form of
authentication you're using?

So, I can use it with JDK 1.4.2?
I don't need any server or similar?

Web-EJB application, any latter Swing access to EJB.
So, I need some security "method" which will work in Swing-JSP-servlet-EJB,
and it's standard.

JAAS is still evolving toward webapp usage. You'll have to play with it some and
maybe look around Google for some links. The main problem I think is that J2EE
container managed security is somewhat platform dependent. I know that Tomcat
has built in JAAS support, but using it will make your application non-portable
to other containers.
