RoleVoter - any prefix

[tmucha]

As stated, RoleVoter only votes when the secured resource has configuration
attributes that are prefixed with ROLE_. However, the ROLE_ prefix is only a default.
You may choose to override the default prefix by setting the rolePrefix property:

<bean id="roleVoter"
class="net.sf.acegisecurity.vote.RoleVoter">
<property name="rolePrefix">
<value>GROUP_</value>
</property>
</bean>

But what if I want any prefix, so user with role XXX or YYY could be authenticate (undependent of role prefix). I try * but it didn't work.
Can you help me?

Have you tried an empty String?

<value></value>

The empty string approach suggested above would work. Equally, you could change your UserDetailsService to add GrantedAuthority[]s to the UserDetails which have a ROLE_ prefix. That way you need not change the ROLE_ prefix and you don't lock yourself out of using other voters in the future. For example, if you wanted to use ROLE_FOOBAR but later a CUSTOM_VOTER_XYZ or one of the ACL voters.
