There are a couple of ways to do it, personally, I would use Spring Security
and incorporate their tag library. It will eliminate quite a bit of work on
your part.
Since you are probably pressed for time since this is an upgrade effort, the
better method would be to expose your user object in a way that you can get at
the list of roles (such as putting it in the session). Then, just use s:if and
some OGNL to check like this -
<s:if test="#session.user.roles.contains('REQUIRED_ROLE')">
...
</s:if>
