Have looked at extending ActionConfig?
You could add a field for assigning roles.
If you wanted to allow more than one, it would let you do:
<action path="/app/main"
type="com.symbol.mobilecommerce.analysis.actions.app.Main"
name="app.main"
>
<forward name="PAGE_SRC" path="/app/main.jsp"/>
<forward name="PAGE_ACCESS_DENIED" path="/index.jsp"/>
<set-property property="addRole" value="admin"/>
<set-property property="addRole" value="superuser"/>
</action>
The rest is really up to you. Just giving you some ideas.
