Setting Roles

[Seth Milder <mr...@physics.gmu.edu>]

Hi,

I am wondering what I need to do to set roles for optional content when 
using struts template tags as in

	<template:get name='administratorPanel' role="ADMINISTRATOR" />

Where and how can I set this role? I've googled it and looked through 
the docs but I can only find how to check the role but not to set it.

Thanks for any help with this.

You need to set up <security-constraint> elements in your web.xml file,
and thus enable container managed login to the application.  When the user
is logged in, he or she is assigned a set of roles that the application
can check by calling request.isUserInRole(), and that's what Struts does
for you to enforce the "roles" attribute of a template or an action.
