In my security.drl file, I have : Code: rule RestrictAccessClientEdit when check: PermissionCheck(name == "/ClientEdit.xhtml", action == "render") Role(name == "admin") then check.grant (); rule RestrictAccessOrderEdit when check: PermissionCheck(name == "/OrderEdit.xhtml", action == "render") Role(name == "admin") then check.grant(); end; I want to generalize this restriction so to apply it to all pages publishing: *Edit.xhtml I tried like that : Code: check: PermissionCheck(name == "/*Edit.xhtml", action == "render") Any help would be very welcome, Thanks, -- Mohamed Mhissen mohamed.mhissen(a)bsaconseil.com +33.6.65.04.28.79
