I have the following code for an access filter. If I log in with the role of "admin" everything works as expected. If I try to log in with the role of "user" I immediately get a permissions error that denies access.
I've added ${sessionScope.USER} to the jsp pages as well as adding entries for PWD and ROLE. The correct information is in the session variables. I'd appreciate any help in finding the error and fixing it.
