Hi All,

I am trying to make this work in the app with no favourable results.


Thanks

Well, what exactly is the problem.

Did you already authenticate you to the server as 'ResearchAdmin' ?

Yes. And added principals to it.

The Role Users are maintained by the container. The default implementation is defining the users with passwords in the tomcat-users.xml and web.xml, the rest is taken care of by the container.

Thank you.

I have not maintained the users in the tomcat-user.xml. I have retained them in the database.
Does this mean I cannot use the function.
Is there a simple way to check if the person is tied to a role, or should I write a custom function checking the principals
if there is a particular principal added for a user. If I do so will it slow down the app?

Thanks

Of course not. How's it supposed to know anything about your database or data model?

You'll need to write code that checks the roles according to the rules of your data model.
