Just had a couple of questions related to roles and tomcat: 1. When a user logs in does tomcat cache the role? I've noticed that if I change a user's role without restarting tomcat the user will still have the old role associated with them.
2. If tomcat does cache a user's role is there any way to disable the caching and what may be potential risks of disabling it? Thanks in advance for your time and any answers to these questions. Read further if you want some more details. I have a web app that allows a system administrator to assign the roles to the users. In some cases the role name is generated dynamically and added to our database. We're using a database for authentication. When the user, that was assigned a new role by the administrator, logs in they still have the old roles associated with them. In this scenario the roles were changed by the admin but tomcat was never restarted. If tomcat is restarted after the new roles are applied then when the user logs in they will have the new roles associated with them. I'd like to be able to change the roles for a user and the next time they log in they get the new roles without having to restart tomcat. I'm just trying to find out if it's possible. Thanks again, -Paulo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
