[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (EJBTHREE-1738) Security, transaction contexts broken in start() method of @Service beans

Security, transaction contexts broken in start() method of @Service beans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-1738 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1738 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 1.1.1 Reporter: Jeff Schnitzer Assignee: Andrew Lee Rubinger Fix For: 1.1.11 Attachments: EJBTHREE-1738.patch The problem surrounds just the start() method (and possibly other lifecycle methods). @RunAs dosn't work, complains that the security context is missing when calling into a method with required permissions. Furthermore, examining the unauthenticated principal shows the principal for the "other" security domain, no matter what is specified as @SecurityDomain. Last of all, there is no transaction context - any attempt to update a database from an EntityManager within the start() method fails with "javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: EntityManager must be access within a transaction". The original description of this bug follows - it is just one part of the larger problem. It looks like AOP interceptors aren't being applied to the start() methods of service beans, whereas this worked in JBoss 4. ----- The behavior of security domains on @Service beans has changed from 4.2 to 5.0.1. @RunAs no longer works. This seems to make it impossible for a @Service to call a secured bean. Take two @Services, one ClientService and one ServerService. Here's the ServerService, note that it requires the "admin" role: @Service(objectName="test:service=Server") @SecurityDomain("foo") @RolesAllowed("admin") public class ServerService implements ServerManagement, Server { public void serve() {...} } The client tries to call the server: @Service(objectName="test:service=Client") @SecurityDomain("foo") @RunAs("admin") public class ClientService implements ClientManagement { @EJB Server server; public void start() { server.serve(); } } This generates exceptions "No security context set". Alternatively, if the Server is a stateless session ejb, the exception is "Caller unauthorized". This same code works in 4.2. If it will help I can attach a simple test project but since the error occurs on deployment (service start), I don't know how to create a unit test.
