How to check "hasRole" in Java Code with Spring Security?

Spring Security 3.0 has this API

SecurityContextHolderAwareRequestWrapper.isUserInRole(String role)

You'll have to inject the wrapper, before you use it.

SecurityContextHolderAwareRequestWrapper

you can use the isUserInRole method of the HttpServletRequest object.

something like:

public String createForm(HttpSession session, HttpServletRequest request,  ModelMap   modelMap) {


    if (request.isUserInRole("ROLE_ADMIN")) {
        // code here
    }
}
