How do I get the roles allowed to invoke a method from within a session bean? It seems that I can query the container: Set methodRoles = container.getMethodPermissions(mi.getMethod(), iface); And then call doesUserHaveRole, but how do I get a reference to the container from within a session bean? In essence, all I want to do is find out if the currently logged in person has permission to read (get methods), write (set methods), create (ejbCreate) and delete (ejbRemove) a particular entity so I can use this information to enable/disable certain features in a swing based fat client. What is the best way of getting this information? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3989192#...
