the use of @DeclareRoles

Usually the code piece is like this:

@DeclareRoles("r1","r2")

@Stateless

public class myBean(){

@PermitAll

public void method1(){...}

}

I just wonder:Does this mean that there are only these 2 roles(r1,r2) in the whole application? or it means within the whole application only these 2 roles can access this bean?

If this question is answered,here comes the following one:

According to "@PermitAll",which roles are permitted to access method1()? all roles of the whole application? or only r1 & r2?

Thanks anyway.

@DeclareRoles is used by the application to declare roles. It means two roles r1 and r2 have been declared.

It means all roles are permitted to access that method.

well,if I use @DeclareRoles to declare 2 roles:r1,r2, for myBean,later I use this annotation again to declare 2 more roles:r3,r4 for myBran1.Now can myBean1 use @AllowedRoles to allow r1 or r2 to access methods within it?. I mean,I want to know whether this kind of declaration is Global.
