Hi.

I was doing URL testing for editing an onlineassignment. The problem is when i try to login as a different instructor and copy the URL i need to refresh the page to get Access Denied ! what could be the problem ?

I had the same problem too. I think that's due to server caching or browser caching. Try to add an additional parameter to the URL (like &temp=123 ) to get rid of cached page. Of course there maybe another reason for this that I don't know.

By the way, another good way of testing your security is to look at the log file and see if the permission is granted/denied for different operations you do. (Whenever a permission is chekced it will be logged in the log file by the super class.)

I think it's browser caching. Eclipse's built-in browser uses IE, which seems to have a more aggressive cache usage policy than Firefox.
