Thank you, Raphael. I see that Ivy has not provide any APIs for searching IRoles, your comment is best way for now.

I think we never find such e completed class in java.

But its easy to handle in a short methode like this.

public List<IRole> roleWithPrefix(String prefix){
    List<IRole> rolesToReturn = new ArrayList<IRole>();
    List<IRole> roles = Ivy.wf().getSecurityContext().getRoles();

    for(IRole role : roles){
        if(role.getName().startsWith(prefix)){
            rolesToReturn.add(role);
        }
    }
    return rolesToReturn;
}

I think with a singeltonpattern you can add this method very efficient on your application

I think you can get all roles and handle them by Java code

ivy.wf.getSecurityContext().getRoles()
