Question

I would like to load a Spring Security attribute into a variable.

Variables:

• Boolean edit provided in the POST body (loading works fine)
• Boolean isSupervisor should be true if the user has the role supervisor (I don’t know how to load it into an accessible variable. I’ve tried many different approaches and it didn’t work.)

Code:

//set somehow the isSupervisor variable
//var isSupervisor = hasRole('ROLE_SUPERVISOR')    
<c:if test="${edit} and not isSupervisor">
... do something
</c:if>

Answer 1

i found this solution:

<!-- Boolean isSupervisor -->
<!-- needed for creating the boolean: !isSupervisor -->
<c:set var="isSupervisor" value="false" />
<sec:authorize ifAllGranted="ROLE_SUPERVISOR">
    <c:set var="isSupervisor" value="true" />
</sec:authorize>


<c:if test="${!edit || (edit && !isSupervisor)}">
    // do some opertations...
</c:if>
