Re: JDBCUserDatabase

Swarup -- Janne is correct. JSPWiki generates roles automatically by  
virtue of a user's authentication status: "Anonymous", "Asserted" and  
"Authenticated" for example. For that reason, JSPWiki does not need  
to keep a separate roles table.

So, what is the roles table for? The roles table is updated ONLY when  
the administrator is sharing user identities with the web container.  
That is the only reason the roles table exists -- so that if you  
wanted to, you could use JSPWiki to add users to, for example,  
Tomcat's JDBC user realm. (FYI, If you examine the source code for  
the class that does this,  
com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.user.JDBCUserDatabase, you'll see this quite  
clearly.)
