creating security roles automatically

[Okan Çetin <ok...@gmail.com>]

Hi;
I am using role based authentication system with Tomcat. I know, in
web.xml , security roles must be defined like this:
Ex:
	<security-role>
		<role-name>users</role-name>
	</security-role>

But i want to create these roles dynamically. For example i want to
read these roles from database, LDAP, text files or somewhere else. Is
it possible?
Thanks.

Sincerly,
Okan.

Do you want modify web.xml on the fly, or to add additional roles to 
tomcat on the fly? The former one can achieve using i.e. 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html
