Regular Expression Format While Specifying Roles.

[vivek4348]

Hi All,

In my applicationContext-security.xml file, I have the following code..

<security:intercept-url pattern="/*.do" access="hasAnyRole('ROLE_ABC','ROLE_CDE','ROLE_FGH','ROLE_IJK','ROLE_XYZ')"/>

If there are 10 roles(with big Role names), then I need to specify ten different things.

Now, my question is, is there a way to specify roles with regular expression format, like ROLE_* ?

Thanks,
Vivekanand Alampally

Have you looked at changing the "path-type" to regex as shown in http://static.springsource.org/sprin...b-filters.html ?

Thanks Arthomps for your response,

I think "path-type" is for URL pattern.. My problem is how to specify Role Names in regular expression format..
