What we have implemented is a set of public authorisation methods in our
base action which we call via ognl passing the actionId as the parameter.
For example to test if a user should be shown the print report we have a
isUserAuthorised(Integer actionId) method which we use as follows:
<s:if test="%{isUserAuthorised(123)}">Your stuff in here</s:if>I have to say that I think this is one of the best aspects of OGNL as we're easily able to easily use server side authorisation with simple ajax calls.
