The addToRole() function will add a principal to another role. For example, if you have a gold_account role, and all your user (principal) is only a in the user_account role, you can add them to the gold_account role with something like this...
roleManager.addToRole(principal,"gold_account"); you will get an error if the role "gold_account" does not exist in your web.xml or application.xml or ejb-jar.xml.

It says "Adds a principal to the specified role, in practice this usually implies adding the principal to the legacy groups the role encompasses". Since all roles are defined in web.xml (<security-role> tag), does addToRole() function will actually update my web.xml file and add a new role to <security-role>? If not, what file(s) does addToRole() will update? Thanks a lot. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
