Roles Interceptor

This interceptor ensures that the action will only be executed if the user has the correct role.

Parameters

• allowedRoles - a comma-separated list of roles to allow
• disallowedRoles - a comma-separated list of roles to disallow

When both allowedRoles and disallowedRoles are configured, then disallowedRoles takes precedence, applying the following logic:

  (if ((inRole(role1) || inRole(role2) || ... inRole(roleN)) &&
       !inRole(roleA) && !inRole(roleB) && ... !inRole(roleZ))
  { //permit ...

Examples

  <!-- only allows the admin and member roles -->
  <action name="someAction" class="com.examples.SomeAction">
      <interceptor-ref name="completeStack"/>
      <interceptor-ref name="roles">
        <param name="allowedRoles">admin,member</param>
      </interceptor-ref>
      <result name="success">good_result.ftl</result>
  </action>
