I have web application where users could of three types (Roles)
1) Basic User 2) Silver User 3) Gold User
According to Type / Role of user some actions could be performed or not performed.
I could set in my stuts-config.xml, the role based access in Action Element
I am having my own authentication System that uses the database . The User table has the userName and also the Role.
I am not sure how could I create a Role that the Action is expecting , if I am using my own authentication
"Struts in Action", ch 9, pg 260-261 9.2.2 ProcessRoles
This shows how you can override the processRoles() method of RequestProcessor. It provides you with the request, response and action mapping. So you can get the roles in the struts-config.xml for the Action using mapping.getRoleNames(). You can the check that the user has one of the roles and return true or false.
