The Struts logic tags will do this
<logic:present role="YOUR_ROLE_NAME_HERE">
<a href="#foo">foo</a>
</logic:present>
If the current user has the named role (as determined by calling
request.isUserInRole(...)) then the conditional markup will be rendered.
I don't know whether you can do this using JSTL, I don't think this would work:
<c:if test=${request.isUserInRole('YOUR_ROLE_NAME_HERE')}>
But perhaps you could access the roles array within the principal (within the
request)?

Subject: [OT] how to test user role in jsp
hi,
sorry for posting something that's very likely not really related to struts
(but maybe it is, who knows), but coudn't find anything on the net.
i would like to display a link depending if a user is in a certain role. is
there a test i could use in <c:if test=${...}> or anything else i could use
as a tag to do this? do i need to implement this on my own?
kr,
guenther
