I had the same issue and from what I could find, you had to stick to using a text field.
I ended up writing my own security system that was just an extension off of the ideas supported by Struts. It only takes a few hours to do.. Just put a User "bean" in the session when the person logs on and then write your own isUserInRole() tag to check the bean in memory...
