Visibility of the components not working

Question

Hi,
I have a simple requirement in which i have to display some menu items depending on the "*Role*" of the user who has logged in.
I tried all the following methods,
1. In backing bean of the .jspx file, checking the Role and setting "component.setvisibility(true)"..... Output: the whole application page getting invisible, including the links under Status, Copyright, About, Global, Images everything. Following is the backing bean code.
for (String role : ADFContext.getCurrent().getSecurityContext().getUserRoles()) {
if (!role.equalsIgnoreCase("authenticated-role") && !role.equalsIgnoreCase("anonymous-role")) {
if (role.equalsIgnoreCase("Admin")) {
gl1.setVisible(true);
2. JSF Expression for Rendered: #{securityContext.userInRole =='Admin'}.... Output: Nothing Happens.
3. JSF Expression for Visibility: #{securityContext.userInRole =='Admin'}.... Output: Nothing Happens.
I had a similiar requirement in my previous project and using above step 1, i was able to complete the task. But for this, its taken 2 days now :(
Also, this is happening for any UI componenet I use.
Can anyone, please help me with this.
Thanks.
Tina

Answer 1

if yuo are using it in expression you have to use it like
rendered="#{securityContext.userInRole['Admin']}"and if you are having a managed bean to check it then use it like
<af:outputText id="ot4" value="#{managedBean.userInRole=='false'}"/>you are checking it as
securityContext.userInRole == 'false'which is wrong you have to chk it as
managedBean.userInRole == 'false'
