<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hmm, tough crowd.  38 people have looked at this an nobody's biting.  Seems like I'm really swimming against the current here - again <span> :( </span>.  I always seem to wind up doing that.<span> ;) </span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>But truly, my use case is valid.  I want to wrap a service as a web service so that more than hardwired clients can use it.  There is a real need for session - consider the example of a phone call.  It's not a bunch of discrete messages, it's a CONVERSATION.  That's what I'm trying to implement.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Anyhoo...</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>One possible solution approach I've come up with is here:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/reference/build/reference/en/html/partial_deployment_descriptors.html" target="_blank">http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/reference/build/reference/en/html/partial_deployment_descriptors.html</a></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>In a partial deployment descriptor I can specify METHOD-level permissions.  So, if this works, login can be protected, other methods not.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>In exploring this, I soon bump up against my first problem.  As soon as I create a partial deployment descriptor, before I even put anything in it, my web service which was successfully validating every method, now fails with this:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>13:29:45,877 ERROR [UsersRolesLoginModule] Failed to load users/passwords/role files</p><p>java.io.IOException: No properties file: users.properties or defaults: defaultUsers.properties found</p><p>    at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.Util.loadProperties(Util.java:198)</p><p>    at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsersRolesLoginModule.loadUsers(UsersRolesLoginModule.java:186)</p><p>...</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>It's no longer looking for jbossws-users.properties - now it's looking for users.properties.  </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>So, at this point do I need to replace jbossws-users.properties with users.properties (realizing that all this eventually goes away when I hook a real LoginModule) or is there something else I can do?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Also, will the @PermitAll annotation conflict with the JBoss @WebContext.authMethod stuff?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thanks.</p></div>
