There is no such facility in the servlet api. Given a user, there is no way to get a list of roles to which the user belongs. I too find this a distressing limitation in using container managed security. Best you can do is iterate over the list of role names and see which ones to which the user belongs, which of course doesn't help you if you don't have such a list. - donald --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
