Ernie,
No, I'm using BASIC and FORM authorization, and I'm trying really badly
to not have to have any Users or Groups in principals.xml. I have a
separate system that contains login and roles information. I did find
(mentioned in another post that I myself made) that if I do a
parent.setParent(this) in my UserManagers setParent method that things
actually work correctly, I have no idea why this is. When my setParent
method gets called it is passed an XMLUserManager as the parent, I think
what is happening is, with the principals file gone, that the real
UserManager sees mine as the parent and defaults to it, as opposed to
working the other way around. Maybe that wasn't as clear as I had
hoped, I'm calling setParent(this) on the usermanager that is passed as
an argument to my usermanagers setParent method.
The difficulty of this issue really concerns me because J2ee is not very
useful if I have to duplicate my user and roles data into a server
specific location, and then try and maintain both sets of data.
Thanks....
