Thanks Alex
I was struggling to find the source download - for anyone interested the
solution is along the following lines:
Application app = (Application)
session.getServletContext();
JaffaAuthenticator myAuth =
(JaffaAuthenticator)app.getAuthenticator();
JaffaPrincipal myPrincipal =
(JaffaPrincipal)request.getUserPrincipal();
myAuth.loadEntityRoles(myPrincipal,
ugb.getCurrentBusinessID()); // this proprietary method refreshes the
roles and sets them on the principal
There might be other ways of doing it but this works and provides a
useful way to refresh the roles programatically as required and avoids
needing to make database calls for each request to check roles. it also
allows for different role queries to be used as required where the role
query may need to vary according to a differing user context.
Regards
Alan
