Security and Audit functionality

[MattC]

Raymond,

The only problem i see with this is that it means you have to have one page
per system feature. For example. Say I wished to have one page that
handled viewing certain data but that would also be used for editing that
same data. Given this solution the call would return the same class name if
you were editing or viewing the data, I need that distinction but without
having a page for viewing a page for editing, etc.

Matt,

Yes, in your scenario, I do see your problem. You may get stuck with static
task names hard coded into the class depending on the current function the
user is performing, of which the code for both tasks are contained.

Sorry I don't have any further input at the moment, if I come up with
something else, I'll post back.
