There probably isn't a way to do what you want. Reading the specs for
EJB, you have to mention the roles in the ejb-jar.xml file. The only
way around that is to role your role checking stuff. The way I would
do it would be to come up with some general roles for the overall
security. Something like User, Admin, Operator maybe. They are so
general you could then make a bunch of sub-roles that would be more
dynamic. You have to have some sort of mapping too.. if it's truly
dynamic set of roles.
I am assuming that you mean by dynamic, that one day you want a role
called foo, and then several days a role called bar, and then maybe
delete foo. If that's the case, then you may also want to seriously
reconsider what you call a role. Most of the roles should be fluid.
You may have to get fairly fine grained on the roles if you want to get
really fluid with your users abilities.
