RE: [security] Authentication mechanism

[Alan D. Cabrera]

All the roles and permissions are in the web.xml.  What do you mean by
the dynamic
granting of roles to users?

        Just to add to my list of questions ...
        
        How does the current mechanism implemented in
        o.a.g.security.PolicyConfigurationWeb.commit() cope with the
dynamic
        granting of roles to users? Looks like it is all set in concrete
at the
        time of the commit(), or are the roles and permissions concerned
those
        described in the web.xml?
        
        thanks again
        Jan
