Maybe by getting a reference to the context of the login ap using this.getServletContext().getContext(uripath) you can retrieve the user roles and other pertinent info?
---------------------------------------------------------- Hello, We are developping an J2EE application which uses Servlets / JSP and EJBs The login process is not a classic (?) one : all users login in a WebApp. They are showed the apps they are allowed to use. When they choose one app, they are forwarded to the Login.jsp of the specific web application (other Web server). The HTTP parameters are the username and the user roles. We would like to make our Application Server (Websphere) be aware of this, so we could propagate on the EJB layer. We develop only our WebApp, and so can not modify the login process, nor could retrieve user roles in any other way than the HTTP parameters to Login.jsp Awaiting for your ideas, Best regard Alexandre ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
