[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - WebAuthentication only authenticates for a single request?

I'm trying to implement programmatic Web login on JBoss 5.0.1 GA. After I made my custom login module working, I ran into the following issue. When I log the user in (by using WebAuthentication.login()), all user-related methods (such as getRemoteUser and isUserInRole) work correctly. On next request, however, it seems like the association is lost - getUserPrincipal/getRemoteUser return null, etc.

I know that with form-based auth, once security check is triggered and user is logged in, it remains logged-in until the session expires. Why isn't that so with programmatic login? Is this something I'm doing wrong on my end, or is that how WebAuthentication is supposed to work?
