[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-5702) Hibernate always registers JACC event listeners regardless of whether that is enabled or not which causes unecessary exceptions to be thrown.

Hibernate always registers JACC event listeners regardless of whether that is enabled or not which causes unecessary exceptions to be thrown. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5702 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5702 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.5.6 Reporter: Eduardo Born Hibernate always registers JACC event listeners regardless of whether JACC has been enabled or not (by defining the property hibernate.jacc.enabled in the configurations). The JACC even listeners cause exceptions to be thrown in several situations when Hibernate is not running as part of a container. The most common exception I've seen so far is the "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown handler key" Hibernate should only register the JACC listeners when JACC is enabled. The fix seems to be in the EventListenerConfigurator class. A simple check for the hibernate.jacc.enabled property should be done before adding any of the JACC event listeners (JACCPreDeleteEventListener, JACCPreLoadEventListener, JACCPreUpdateEventListener, JACCPreInsertEventListener). I believe a simple check like if ( properties.containsKey( AvailableSettings.JACC_ENABLED ) ) { ... } should be performed before adding them. In my case these listeners cause exceptions like these to be thrown in a few situations: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown handler key at javax.security.jacc.PolicyContext.getContext(PolicyContext.java:280) at org.hibernate.secure.JACCPermissions$PolicyContextActions$2.getContextSubject(JACCPermissions.java:111) at org.hibernate.secure.JACCPermissions.getContextSubject(JACCPermissions.java:120) at org.hibernate.secure.JACCPermissions.checkPermission(JACCPermissions.java:59) at org.hibernate.secure.JACCPreLoadEventListener.onPreLoad(JACCPreLoadEventListener.java:53) at org.hibernate.engine.TwoPhaseLoad.initializeEntity(TwoPhaseLoad.java:149) at org.hibernate.loader.Loader.initializeEntitiesAndCollections(Loader.java:898) ...so I have to manually remove these listeners. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
