Re: Servlet API: how to obtain the roles list ?
Pierre, There is no way to do this using the servlet API but you could easily store your user and role information in a JDBC user repository and then query that repository for the user data you want. If you need to include the user repository with your webapp, we've used the Hypersonic SQL database.

Is there such a method in the servlet API ? At best, you'll be able to identify the security roles that *this* web application is interested in, by parsing the /WEB-INF/web.xml resource yourself, looking for security-role elements. It is perfectly reasonable to utilize authentication and authorization schemes (in a servlet container) that are not capable of enumerating all valid users or all valid roles. Therefore, there is no portable servlet API to access such information.
