How to find out user privilege using JPDK

Question

Hi All,
How can I find out what type of user-privilege that a user has inside the renderBody method of the subclass of the BaseManagedRenderer class? e.g: whether the user has the Administer privilege.
I looked through the ProviderUser object which can be obtained from the pr.getUser() (PortletRenderRequest.getUser()) and it does not seem to provide the method to get the user's privilege.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Vince

Vince,
How did you figure out calling the is_user_in_group or other
similar function calls in the WWSEC_API?
I tried making a regular SQL Statement by doing the following.
CallableStatement callablestatement = conn.prepareCall
("begin ? := wwsec_api.is_user_in_group(?,?); end;");
callablestatement.registerOutParameter(1, 12);
callablestatement.setInt(2, 17);
callablestatement.setInt(3, 0);
callablestatement.execute();
boolean s2 = callablestatement.getBoolean(1);
callablestatement.close();
but it fails with the following exception in the JSP...
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 13: PLS-00382:
expression is of wrong type ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL:
Statement ignored
Can you shed some light on the problem?
Thanks,
