Thanks Chuck, i followed your suggestion and it works fine. Maybe you can help me with another problem i stuck.
Right now i can use RealmDataSource to authenticate the user. But want/have to go bit deeper in authorization, e.g. build up a dynamic navigation based on the users roles. I investigated a bit in the catalina API, but i cannot find any interface to access a list of the roles the user has. HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal() is of type javax.security.Principal and DataSourceRealm.getRoles is protected. What i try to access is a object of type GenericPrincipal (because of the getRoles() method), but don`t know where from. What i can think of is getting a list off all in Context defined roles StandardContext.findSecurityRoles(), and check with a loop if the DataSourceRealm.hasRole(Principal, role), but i still hope to find a more elegant solution. Maybe you have any idea. Regards Oliver > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Dienstag, 30.
