This is a simple question: I have an EJB jar with the abstract <security-role> and method permissions defined. How do I tie those abstract roles to the roles defined in my principles.xml file? How do I identify myself to the EJBs? Is it by the name I use in the InitialContext lookup? I know these are simple questions, but I am more a servlet/JSP person than EJB.
