Q 41 Given the following declaration
<security-role-ref>
<role-link>linkedRole</role-link>
<role-name>roleName</role-name>
</security-role-ref>
Which method call is correct?
1) isUserInRole(linkedRole)
2) isUserInRole(roleName)
Cobian says answer is 2.
From Sun's Tutorial
Sun J2EE TUTORIAL Security
In this example, isUserInRole("bankCustomer") and isUserInRole("cust") will both return true for the methods indicated in the Method Permissions pane.
I am thinking answer is 1 and 2. Any one have a different opinion?

Well, I believe that the role-link represents the user that is in "Code", where as the role-name is the role-name used in the web.xml under security-role tag, which is not assessible from your servlet code.
I might be wrong.

Mark.
I say: You are right.
With this
<security-role-ref>
<role-name>roleInCode</role-name>
<role-link>roleInTomcat-users.xml</role-link>
</security-role-ref>

construct,
the deployer can use different role-names from those chosen by the programmer.
not 100% sure. Correct me if I am wrong.

Seems to me, if that is exactly the question from the mock, then you do not answer it, because the correct answer is "none of the above". There will be a parse exception at container start, because the role-link and role-name tags are reversed from the DTD specified order.
