I've developed a tag that we think has some usefulness in the presentation area. I am wondering if there is interest:
The tag basically is an actionGuard <security:actionGuard actionPath="/remove/User" securityHelper="securityHelper" condition="true"> Stuff that should only be seen if the user associated with this request is on the role specified in the action mapping of the struts-config.xml file. </security:actionGuard> The security helper is an interface with methods similar to that of the J2EE security: e.g. isUserInRole(), getRemoteUser(). The rational behind this was that we were using a third party security mechanism that we needed to adapt our code to. We have a J2EESecurityAdapter that implements this interface and passes requests on through. The obvious benefit to this was that we could modify our roles in the struts-config.xml file and then actions would magically appear/disappear in our JSP. If there is any interest in this for Struts, please let me know.
