I have checked SecurityUtil class. If I understand it well it invokes
servlet service method with the doAsPrivileged and the subject cached in
the HttpSession. If I check current Subject with
Subject.getSubject(AccessController.getContext()) inside service method
before I call my doAsPrivleged it returns null. 
So I use my subject (which I get from login context with
lc.getSubject()) to execute Subject.doAsPrivileged(subject, new
SecuredActions(), null )
protected code which in turn check the subject permission. 

So I can try to describe whole situation as I see it:

First, servlet service method is called as doAsPrivileged with null
subject (which is cached in HttpSession) then I invoke doAsPrivileged
within service method with subject generated in Login procedure on
SecuredAction class. Here something goes wrong and I can't get what!?

(P.S. This works fine on tomcat 4.1.30 maybe we should check
SecurityUtil class implementation there?)
