I am running GWT2.0.4 and Spring Security 3.03.

I am able to authenticate with Spring Security but have not found a
good way to conditionally render Widgets and Panels based on ROLES
from Spring Security.

For example: In the StockWatcher program, if a user has a ROLE_ADMIN
then I want to allow that person to add a addPanel. But If the user
has a role such as ROLE_GUEST who is not a ROLE_ADMIN, that user
should not see the panel

I would like to do something like:
   public void onModuleLoad() {
.....
            // Assemble Main panel.
            mainPanel.add(stocksFlexTable);
            if(SpringSecurityRole == "ROLE_ADMIN"){
                    mainPanel.add(addPanel);
             }
            mainPanel.add(lastUpdatedLabel);
 ......
     }
I know UI conditional rendering  can be easily accomplished using jsp
and the Spring Security tags (as shown below). But we don't want to
use jsp

<sec:authorize access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')">
 <input type="submit" value="Add" />
</sec:authorize>

I have searched gwt forums , google groups and other GWT book forum
and Spring book forums and have not found a good solution.

I've tried the acris security
http://code.google.com/p/acris/wiki/Introduction
but the roles don't seem to come from Spring Security but rather its
own implementation. It uses Spring Security for server side security
not UI conditional rendering. UI conditional rendering ROLES come from
its own filter
sk.seges.acris.security.server.SessionRemoteServiceFilter and user
define Grants interface.

I've also tried  gwt-incubator lib
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-incubator-lib/ but that seems to only
cover authentication and no conditional rendering.

I've seen some news feed about calling back to Spring Security but
didn't know how to accomplish the actual calls.

DoCheckUserAuth checkAuth = new DoCheckUserAuth(); boolean b =
checkAuth.askServerAboutUser();
if(b){
    RootPanel.get("formPoint").set(new PrivateForm);}
else
{
  RootPanel.get("messagePoint").set(new Label("Please, pass
authorization"));

Your help is much appreciated
