isUserInRole method always returns false

 Hints and tips

 
Abstract
When calling isUserInRole on a request object from within a JSP, the method always returns false whether the authenticated user is in the role or not.
 
Content
This problem apparently only exists when the isUserInRole method call is made from within a JSP rather than directly from a servlet. To resolve the problem, apply APAR PQ57307.
