The code I uploaded was there to illustrate.  I stepped through with a
debugger to find that those instance variables are null once I am inside
any method.  I figured that I was doing something wrong so I didn't want
to confuse matters and put references to the objects in the sample.

Thanks for the clarification on UserPermissions.
However, shouldn't dispatchers have access to the RequestGlobals service
considering it is part of the request processing flow? If not, how do I
obtain the IP address of the user coming in?  I intend on validating the
user during the execution of the AccessController Dispatcher.  My
intention is to perform user authentication during this process.  

My goal is to provide an authentication mechanism that is transparent to
the pages.  The entire application is not accessible unless you are
authenticated.  Thus, I want to alleviate the responsibliity of that
away from the page classes.  Once a user logs in, he/she should be able
to go anywhere in the application.  The dispatcher should determine if
the user has a valid session and direct the user to the appropriate
pages if the user's session expires and somehow handle returning the
user to the current request after successfully logging in.

The key thing for me is that the remote IP address will be used for IP
authentication.  That information is not available through the Request
object.

Does this make any sense?  Am I approaching this the wrong way?

Thanks,
Michael

Michael,

This is not a page class, so Tapestry will not process your injections.

You also haven't used either of your injected properties, so why are
they there?
