Hi, Ok, my question may be obvious for some of yours, but I guess I am not the only newbie having this kind of trouble (I hope ;-)
All I wanna do is to customize jsp pages (made of struts tiles) depending on user's role. Here is my trouble: I've got a tile (among others with same concerns wrt roles) that displays a 'logout' link, and that is used on each jsp page of my portal. The trouble is !THIS IS A PORTAL! ...that is to say some jsp are access protected, some others are not... For the formers, all is OK, but concerning the latters, I loose the user's role since Tomcat doesn't transmit it to the session for such kind of pages. My questions are the following: 1. Is there any trick (config files?) to tell Tomcat to keep roles avalaible, even when accessing public pages? 2. If not, can I force the "role" attribute either in tiles:put or in logic:present in order to get the right JAAS role that is stored in the container? 3. If not, I'd better try to gather all my jsp in the security url-pattern and try to set a default user on public pages... If somebody knows how to do this (positionning a default user without an authentication popup), please tell me! 4. Is there another solution? Thanks in advance for your answers.
