Thanks.

Will be doing that.

What I was wondering is, is there anything built into tomcat to allow me to
get say a security level of a certain action. That way seeing if it matches
the users security level.

Or will I need to make another xml file of my own to configure each action,
and which roles can access it?

regards

Check out Filters and stick an authorization filter in front of your
restricted URLs
