Server (physical) role declaration

[ypfamily]

Hi,

I know you can do this in Weblogic, so you should be able to do this in JBoss. Basically, I have security roles defined in web.xml. I want those logical role names mapped to physical role names on the server.

In weblogic, there is a weblogic.xml that goes with web.xml that has something like this:
<weblogic-web-app>

<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>manager</role-name>
<principal-name>Admin</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>regularUser</role-name>
<principal-name>User</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
.....

What is the parallel in JBoss for this?

Thanks,
Yaakov.
