I believe that's a mistake in the book. You need to use an absolute path to the resource from the application context root: /WEB-INF/myroles.xconf
See: http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/faq-configure-c2.html#faq-1 You can also search the archives for user-roles and you'll find a few threads on the subject.
