I am creating a very simple jsp application within JDeveloper 10.1.3.1. I have 2 jsp files...a readData.jsp and a maintainData.jsp. I would like to deploy this application to Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.2. I would like to use Oracle Internet Directory with Single Sign on enabled. The deployment to OAS works fine. For the security, I would like an administrator user to get to both pages...and a user to only be able to see the readData.jsp. I used the security constraints on the properties of the web.xml file within JDeveloper. Here is my web.xml file:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>

</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>

<security-role>
<role-name>usr_all</role-name>
</security-role>
<security-role>
<role-name>adm_all</role-name>
</security-role>
</web-app>
When I deploy to OAS I added an OID account to the adm_all role...this works fine I can log on as that user and get to both jsps. But, when I add my user to the usr_all role within OAS I try to log on to the app...I then enter my SSO username and password and I get Access Denied errors from my browser when trying to access either page. I am confused about the <url-pattern> tag...is that relative to a directory within my deployment? Most of the examples I have seen use servlets...so I was wondering if I can even use the <url-pattern> tag to restrict/allow access to individual jsps? If someone could point me to some documentation on this set-up I would appreciate it!
Thank you.
