java-programmer, Struts and AA based on a database
Hello:)

I have a question concerning authentification/authorization and
elements visibility on a Web page in Struts. How to manage the
visibility of control elements in a Struts-based application? The
information about users should be stored in a database and not in XML
configuration files. How to use role based or/and function based
authorization system and how to retrieve the rights from a database and
store them in the Principal object? The application is mantained within
Tomcat application server. So, how to do this? Or, being more precise,
is there any open-source library which provides such a functionality or
should I develop everything from scratch? Do you have some examples for
such stuff?

best regards,
Ania
