Matt, Thanks for the info. We already have our own Authentication mechanism. I am just thinking about how is it to make use of current role information to determine what get shown on the UI. Does that mean I have to write custom tag lib to deal with this.
For isUserInRole, does this only comes in handy for forwarding to an Action. It can't really control what gets shown on the screen right? -Betty -----Original Message----- From: Matt Raible [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 9:55 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: User Delegation with struts You could look at using the Acegi Security Framework. I've used it to replace J2EE container authentication in AppFuse - and didn't have to change any code. Works with request.isUserInRole and all that + it allows you more fine grained control on the internals. http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net Unfortunately, it's got a bit of a learning curve - but most good open-source software does. ;-) Matt On Mar 10, 2005, at 10:49 AM, Betty Koon wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> Anyone has any good strategy or pointers for doing >> user/role delegation with struts.
