Mesh in mesh safety
Recently I have been experimenting quite actively with light meshes (Hazelcast, Gigaspaces, Infinispan).
However, I was somewhat surprised that none of the free frameworks I've tried have built-in ACL or role based security features (Gigaspaces has some measures).
What approaches are commonly used to compensate for this? Am I supposed to use the grid only for data exchange between trusted server applications, and use the traditional Java EE stack (i.e. Normal DAO tier) to access data from client or untrusted server applications?
Are there any grids that provide ACL capabilities for accessing data in the grid (I would be happy with some special stuff, although following the Java EE role concepts would be nice)?

This is my take on the current state of open source distributed cache solutions (like JBoss Cache and Infinispan). I use the commercial caching product GigaSpaces as a baseline. Let me know what you think about open source products and proprietary caches.
