Thanks for the reply, unfortunately it didn't work. So I started to look
around in the code and documentation and found this page:
http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/config_file.html. About three quarters down
on the page I found the following information:
There are three roles built into the Slide framework:
* slideroles.basic.GuestRole
* slideroles.basic.RootRole
* slideroles.basic.UserRole
Is this information accurate? I.e. do I have to implement my own role
classes in order to have other roles than these three? If I have do create
my own classes do I also have to modify Slide in order to accommodate these
new classes?
Best regards,
Pontus Strand
