Description

Currently the roles in wicket are managed by a final class, Roles, that extends HashSet.
In my current projects I have to manage permissions considering several factors that include the role, the creator and the type of data, and this must be done also when displaying tables with several rows. Having the possibility to create my own Roles class I can integrate my restrictions with wicket authorization and add some performance improvements (required in this case because the validation must be done at the field level).
