Hello all,

I've a question about the declarative security structure that becomes
available
with Servlet 2.2 & the new Web Application (WAR) concept.

How is the mapping between user-name (possible stored in a database), and
role
actually performed?  It looks like the server is expected to examine the
authentication information and somehow magically figure out which user maps
to
which role.  (Is this a server-specific method that can usually be
configured when
initializing the server?)

Thanks for any help.
