How to use roles with Struts

[ron1 <ro...@gmx.net>]

Hi all :-)
I am wondering how some of the experienced users use roles with struts.
I saw there is a query for roles in the API (getRoles()), but could not 
figure out how to configure ACLs with struts, or more specific: where to 
define which action is allowed for which role, and, and I guess that is 
done through Java, how to set the user's role in, for example, after ge 
logs in.

My application will use 3 roles, and perhaps an additional admin role:
some actions / pages will have unlimited access ( guest or visitor)
some others will need a log in (user)
and some others will need a privelege (priveleged user).

Could you share your experience?

What I currently imagine as to be a good solution is a Permission 
setting on the action configuration (e.g. at struts-config.xml) which 
will be automatically checked at the controller instance, and forward 
users to login / not permitted pages.

Cheers and thanx advance,
Ron
