Hi Oliver,
I think I now understand your issue. I was faced with a similar problem and
could not figure out how to get the roles of an authenticated user through the
servlet API.
It seems to only allow the question 'request.isUserInRole(role)'. But does not
seem to provide a way to get a list of roles that the user is in.
I used a kludge whereby I defined the valid roles in a context init parameter
(bad duplication of effort). Then used 'request.isUserInRole(role)'. I did not
think to cast the 'request.getUserPrincipal()' return value.
Please post if your methodology works.
Oliver
I ended up using WebserviceContext#getUserPrincipal() and downcasting it
to org.apache.catalina.User ; should probably also work with the plain
HttpServletRequest since WebserviceContext is just a wrapper.
Cheers,
Tobias
