You may want to try populating a session object from the database and then update that session object when the user changes his role info. Then use the session object to make decisions, rather than need to re-read the database each time.

My website uses a subscription based service, and we're using WorldPay (similar to PayPal I believe) to handle the credit card billing. I've defined roles for each of the subscription levels:
trial trial_expired bronze silver gold
The problem is when a trial user registers, they become bronze/silver/gold but until they logout and log back in, Tomcat thinks they're in the old role. Is it possible to make Tomcat reread the user's role from the database? If not, is there a way to log the user out so they'll have to log back in again? I'm curious how others are handling this, it seems like it'd be a common problem.
Thanks, Michael
