When using a custom user manager with an application, you must make sure
you are getting your DataSource references in the constructor.
This is extremely important. If you try to lookup the DataSource outside
of the constructor, you will have all sorts of problems. Do something
like this...
private DataSource ds;
public MyUserManager() {
...
try {
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
ds = (DataSource) context.lookup("jdbc/OraclePooledDS");
}
catch (NamingException ne) {
ne.printStackTrace();
}
}
public Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
return ds.getConnection();
}

Please respond to
Orion-Interest
The DataSourceUserManager that is provided with Orion exhibits this same
problem - the principals.xml must still contain the group declarations.
We've created out own custom UserManager that uses our User and Group EJBs.
This custom user manager will work fine for EJB and Web modules without
anything in the principals.xml, but it fails miserably with Application
Client modules. It is impossible to login with Application Clients no
matter
what's in the DB or in principals.xml.
