Map<Resource,Map<String,SecurityRole>> getRoles(Subject subject,
                                                List<Resource> resource,
                                                ContextHandler handler)

Indicates whether the role policies defined for the list of resources allow the requestor to posses a given role by utilizing the information contained in the subject and context.

Parameters:

subject - a Subject object containing the identity of the principals that are attempting to perform a request on the specified resource.

resource - a Resource object indicating the type of resource on which the subject is attempting to perform a request.

handler - a ContextHandler object that can optionally be used by the Role Mapping provider to obtain additional information that may be used in making the authorization decision. If the caller is unable to provide additional information, a null value should be specified.
