In sun-web.xml we need to map the roles specified in web.xml to a group

  1. Is it true for all server or just for GlassFish?
  2. Why we need to do that?
  3. In some of the example on JAAS or authentication I haven't seen this step, What are the cases where it can be skipped?
  4. Is there any other file name used instead of sun-web.xml? and why alternate name?

If you are using spring-security, declaring Role in spring context file will be sufficient. If you want to take benefit of spring's default implementation start your role name with 'ROLE' prefix.
