Changes to application deployment descriptors require a redeploy (not necessarily a restart, if you are using dynamic redeployment). However, changing application roles dynamically is not really the best approach. The application roles in J2EE are intended as design-time groupings. Instead, look into dynamically changing the mapping of particular users to these roles. You can do this by mapping the J2EE application role to a group (or groups) and altering the membership of these groups as needed.
