Hi , with isUserInRole you can check whether the the current remote User has the role you specified.
There is also an method //check authentication assuming that user needs the role "editor" for the action if (!request.isUserInRole("editor")) { throw new Exception("user not authenticated for this action"); } I have defined the roles in tomcat-users.xml as I am using this basic scheme.
