i am currently working on a project with similar required. if wonder if u have read about ActionMapping. make your own custom mapping (by extending ActionMapping) and then define properties in it like getRole, setRole. and in the structs-config.xml file itself, mention the role allowed in that particular module.
in the user table, add another field called role. and make a level say 0=> super user, 1=> Content Administrator 2=> Normal User etc. and then on the login you could save this in the session object and everytime a module is to be executed, you could check the role which has accesses to this module and compare it to the role stored in the session and take the necessary action.
hope this helps!!! cheers! rajat

Hi,
I'm searching for a Java library to implement Role based access in a Web application. This API must support some kind of hierarchy. For example a user might have all roles in a project (project administrator) but only limited (or no) roles in an other project.
As far as I know, tomcat supports only user based roles, thus a user has a role assigned to him everywhere.
Any suggestion?
