Security Role Ref --> Configuration

Tasks Additional Documentation Attributes

Overview

Use this tab to map a security role name to a security role link. You can write your servlets to access users and roles programmatically in your servlet code using the method javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole(String role). The string role is mapped to the name supplied in the role-name element nested inside the security-role-ref element of a servlet declaration in the Web Application deployment descriptor. The role-link element maps to a role-name defined in the security-role element of the Web Application deployment descriptor.
