[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Security on JBoss] - Re: CachePolicy in JaasSecurityManagerService

Its just a factory that happens to use a jndi lookup as an implicit factory api based on the javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory. In reality, its equivalent to: | public interface AuthenticationManagerFactory | { | public AuthenticationManager newInstance(String domainName); | } | // Getting hold of this is the problem the jndi lookup solves | AuthenticationManagerFactory factory = ...; | AuthenticationManager am = factory.newInstance("jaas-domain"); | Instead, use of a naming convention for the security domain (java:/jaas prefix) implicitly locates the AuthenticationManager factory: | InitialContextFactory factory = new InitialContextFactory(); | AuthenticationManager am = (AuthenticationManager) factory.lookup("java:/jaas/jaas-domain"); | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4093686#...
