Hi, First of all, Thanks NigelWhite & scott stark .
Yes, We need to specify <security-domain> element in jboss.xml. Then only, the PolicyContext.getContext method will return Subject otherwise it will return null. And it should have same value as <security-domain> element in jboss-web.xml. And If you add <security-domain> element in jboss.xml, then you must specify <method-permission> element for your EJBs, otherwise you can't access your EJBs from servlet or jsp. (First I wrongly understood, I thought to get Subject from EJB we must use CustomLogin module, Sorry, Its not correct, the key thing is <security-domain> element in jboss.xml) For those who need sample code The following is by my session bean's business method public String sayHello() { | try { | Subject mySubject=(Subject)PolicyContext.getContext("javax.security.auth.Subject.container"); | return mySubject.toString(); | }catch(Exception e) { | throw new EJBException("sayHello method failed to get subject",e); | } | } The following my jboss.xml assembly descriptor part | <assembly-descriptor> | <method-permission> | <unchecked/> | <method> | <ejb-name>HelloEJB</ejb-name> | <method-name>*</method-name> | </method> | </method-permission> | </assembly-descriptor> The following is my Hello.jsp code <%@ page import="javax.naming.InitialContext, javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject, hello.*" %> | <% | InitialContext ctxt=new InitialContext(); | HelloHome home=(HelloHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ctxt.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/HelloEJB"),HelloHome.class); | Hello hello=home.create(); | %> | | | <html> | <head> | <style type="text/css"> | body { | font-family:'Comic Sans MS'; | font-size:11pt; | } | </style> | </head> | <body> | <%=hello.sayHello()%> | </body> | </html> and this is the output Subject: Principal: user2 Principal: Roles(members:employee,manager) Thanks again View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3934815#3934815 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3934815 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
