I understand. Thanks for the algorith below, though! Pady Srinivasan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Unfortunately, I cannot give out our code. But it basically involves the following: 1. LoginFilter authenticates the user. Creates a User object. 2. LoginFilter calls a ConfigManager to build a Menu for the User. 3. ConfigManager loads the user profile from an xml file. Gets the role assigned to the user. 4. ConfigManager passes the Role object to a MenuManager and asks it to build a Menu object. 5. The LoginFilter sets the User and the Menu in the session context. 6. Then the LoginFilter forwards the url to the default page or the requested page. 7. On each page, the header section is a jsp which looks for the Menu object and builds the corresponding Menu which has all the categories to be accessed.

Thanks! Pady Srinivasan wrote: We do this in our web app. We have a config xml with all our functional categories defined. All these categories are accessed from the webapp using a menu. We have a second config file that defines all the users/roles. Each role is assigned to one or more functional categories. When user logs in, the assigned role is loaded ( ie the javascript menu is built according to the role ) using a filter, and saved in session.
