hi, [jboss-portal bundle 2.4] i have a portlet which dispatches to a jsp to render the output. now my problem: within the portlet i can execute aRequest.isUserInRole("student")); this returns true because the given user is a student. but wihin the jsp | <% out.println("jsp in role : " + request.isUserInRole("student")); %> always returns false. is there a problem with the implicit request object within the jsp? do I have to declare my role somewhere else?? ... i really have no idea what I could try. thanks for any hints. /r hubert View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3974780#...
