You're right - the <s:if> method may be a quicker change. I'll give
that a shot. Thanks for the quick answer.

Hi all,
We're porting an app from Struts 1 to Struts 2, and I'm having
trouble figuring out how to conditionally include a portion of a JSP
depending on the role of the user principal. In Struts 1 we did this:
<logic:present role="SERVICE,SYSTEM">
... some html ...
</logic:present>
What's the preferred way of doing this in Struts2? Thanks,
Russ
There are a couple of ways to do it, personally, I would use Spring Security
and incorporate their tag library. It will eliminate quite a bit of work on
your part.
Since you are probably pressed for time since this is an upgrade effort, the
better method would be to expose your user object in a way that you can get at
the list of roles (such as putting it in the session). Then, just use s:if and
some OGNL to check like this -
<s:if test="#session.user.roles.contains('REQUIRED_ROLE')">
...
</s:if>
