Thanx baz for ur reply, I am currently studying the ref manual of seam 1.2.0, but still i dont know how to define and check permissions or privileges for one component. In my application I have multiple roles and the roles have assigned privileges(permissions). Multiple roles can be assigned to a single user. Now I am a little confused how to check multiple roles for a single component. The component might be of the web or the EJBs or java classes. can you help me on this.
