Subject: Changing roles on the fly
Hello
Tomcat 5.5.26
Java 1.5.0_15-b04
This question is about role based security and the dynamic
assignment/removal of roles.
I have a requirement to allow an user to add or remove certain roles
'on the fly'
Allowing a user to add a role is simple enough.
Is it? I'm not so sure.... when does Tomcat load up the tomcat-users.xml?
When it starts, for every servlet start up... I'm not sure?
ie if you change it, when does TC recognize it... I wonder?
I tried it....
TC only seems to load up the tomcat-users.xml
on a re-start
So... changing it on the fly does not seem possible...
I think you going to have to program the whole thing, ie the BASIC security
yourself.
If there is no other way, give me a yell, I got some do it yourself auth
code somewhere.
