HFS&J page 637

The errata from
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/headservletsjsp/errata/headservletsjsp.confirmed
says
==================
[637] Case 2;
The second row should not have Diane and Annie crossed out.
All of these users would have permission to use the webapp.
==================
Is this correct.

From the DD snippet shown for second row, it looks like only the "Guest" role should have access to the constrained request.

here is the DD snippet from the book.
=============================
<security-constraint>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>Guest</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
=============================

thanks in advance for your time.

They are all guests, aren't they?
So they all have permission.

Yes.
I re-read the page after reading your reply. I missed that they all belong to the "guest" role also.

thank you
