Actually it isn't really a bug:  JBoss encodes role principals in a "Roles" principal 
group, this is why you specify the "Roles" literal - it is the group that the 
principals are being added to.

If you are using a properties file for roles you don't notice this as the default 
group of "Roles" is assigned if the group is not specified.

so,
username=role1,role2
and
username.Roles=role1,role2
are the same.

So actually is is more a surplus of configurability than a lack that is causing the 
confusion. That the roles principal group name is hard coded to "Roles" isn't really 
that much of an imposition, considering that the grouping allows applicaiton specific 
principal groups to be added without interfereing with JBoss role authorisation.
