Hello, We are trying to do a similar thing (authentication and role-based security based on user and role info acquired from database). Can someone point me to a good resource to get started or explain how they set up their system. Users will number in the thousands and there will be some dynamic comparison of roles, hence setting it up in web.xml isn't practical.
However, we're not using tiles. The path of the workflow will be based on roles and whether or not a certain Action can be executed is also based on roles. Any advice is much appreciated.
