Hello Tiago, I can't tell you where you can find documentation concerning "roles". But I have taken a look on struts roles on my own. So I'll write down what I know and maybe you get a hint.
The struts config dtd defines an attribute "roles" for the "action" element. The "roles" attribute is optional and may contain a comma-delimited list of security role names. These role names are loaded to the ActionMapping of the related action class during initialization of the ActionServlet and Actions (if you want to know exactly what is done when take a look at the init method of the ActionServlet's source). When an Action's execute method is called an ActionMapping object is passed. ActionMapping inherits the property roles from ActionConfig which is populated with the role names from the struts-config.xml during initialization. Within your action you may access your security role names from the mapping. For convenience there is a method getRoleNames so you get the role names within an array. Hope that helps. I posted a thread last week regarding this issue. But I didn't get a helpful answer. I wanted to define a custom struts config dtd to extend the struts config with an element "security constraint". My problem is still that I don't know how to configure the digester using custom rule sets so my sub-class of action mapping gets populated with my custom tag. Maybe you have an idea or anyone who reads this thread.
