how to access users role list...

[ulath]

is there any way to access users' role list stored in Identity object...

What do you need it for?

[ulath]

i want to get list and decide something in the java code programatically, of course i can hit the db again to get roles or store roles in a session object but i just want to know is there a way to access using seam security mechanism...

Would a boolean hasRole(String) method solve your problem?

[gavin.king]

(This method already exists.)

[ulath]

i know the hasRole method, but i need the role name(s) of user (admin, customer)....

Identity.getSubject() returns the subject, from which you can iterate through the principals to find the "Roles" group.

I have a "Profile" entity, so I do:
employee.getProfile().getPermissions() wich are a bunch of strings, assigned to user at loginTime (#{authenticator.authenticate}) as roles, so xhtml uses #{s:hasRole('role')} and java uses Profile object, hope that helps.
