hi, i am looking to build a webapp whereby upon successful login, the user is displayed a main menu page. The complete menu will consist of say 10 links to various sections, however not all users will have visibility to the complete menu. Say users with role = 'admin' will see all, but those with role = 'student' will only see 7 of them. What is the best way to check within my JSF page & display the link if role of user permits them visibility. Of course, if the user attempts to directly access the url of one of the links he/she should not have visibility of they will be prompted with login & subsequently refused access. any thoughts as to the best possible solution for this would be greatly appreciated. thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4057518#...
