RE: Validation lists and Apache

[Rob Stanley <Rob.Stanley@xxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

I think the following may help in what you are trying to acheive.
Security roles can be defined in your application deployment descriptor
(web.xml).  You can map a user id's as belonging to one or more roles.

The HttpServletRequest has the method isUserInRole(String role).  This
returns a boolean indicating whether the user making this request
belongs to a given role.  The user's id can also be retrieved using
getRemoteUser().

This is documented in the Servlet API, which you can find here:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/

All,

I need to determine which validation list the user used to sign in with
using a servlet.  I was looking at the HttpRequest attributes and methods,
but I can not determine anything there.  Does anyone have any ideas?

What I am trying to accomplish here is to have a common control servlet to
work with different levels of authorization.  A customer can only receive
specific information when they sign in this site where a Customer Service
Representative can receive more information.  I was going to try and
determine their level of authority by determining which validation list was
used for their signin.  There are different validation lists for different
levels of authorization for other reasons and I wanted to use this as my
determination.

Any ideas??

Thanks!

Mike
