[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBAOP-762) Permission Issue (with AOP) in Applet Environment
Permission Issue (with AOP) in Applet Environment
-------------------------------------------------
Key: JBAOP-762
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAOP-762
Project: JBoss AOP
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
Affects Versions: 1.5.6.GA
Reporter: Howard Gao
Fix For: 1.5.7.GA
Attachments: java_console.out
Summary:
JBM client packed in an Applet. The client gets "java.util.PropertyPermission
legacyParsing read" AccessControlException when trying to create a JMS connection.
Possible Reason:
The AccessControlContext was changed after JBM going through some AOP stack.
AOP version 1.5.6.GA
To reproduce this issue, I did the following:
1. create a simple applet. The applet create a button "DoWork".
2. Pressing "DoWork" will cause the applet to do a jndi lookup for a connection
factory and call creationConnection() on the factory.
In createConnection(), there is a method call on an AOP instrumented object:
createConnection()
{
...
String wok = aopObj.doSomeWork("GoodWook");
...
}
The aopObj is a simple class with one method:
public class FakeInvokerLocatorWithAOP implements Serializable
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 2223089961647029627L;
public String doSomeWork(String work)
{
return work + " done. : " +
System.getProperty("legacyParsing");
}
}
This class has an advice defined in AOP xml :
<aspect class="org.jboss.jms.client.container.SimpleAspect"
scope="PER_VM"/>
<bind pointcut="execution(*
org.jboss.jms.client.delegate.FakeInvokerLocatorWithAOP->doSomeWork(..))">
<advice name="handleDoSomeWork"
aspect="org.jboss.jms.client.container.SimpleAspect"/>
</bind>
The Advice class SimpleAspect is very simple:
public class SimpleAspect {
public Object handleDoSomeWork(Invocation inv) throws Throwable
{
String res = (String)inv.invokeNext();
res = res + " with AOP";
System.out.println("-----res: " + res);
return res;
}
}
So if the call of aopObj.doSomeWork("GoodWook") is successful, the returned
value should be something like:
"GoodWook done. " + <value of sys prop 'legacyParsing'> + "
with AOP"
But the real situation is that I got the following exception:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission
legacyParsing read)
Debugging shows that once the execution goes inside SimpleAspect.handleDoSomeWork(), the
system's AccessControlContext has changed, but the SecurityManager remained same as
before. This changed context doesn't allow the above permission.
I also checked the SimpleAspect's ProtectionDomain by
PermissionCollection pcol = this.getClass().getProtectionDomain().getPermissions();
And this proctection domain's permissions implies the above permission, namely
pcol.implies(new PropertyPermission("legacyParsing", "read")) returns
true.
Note: you may need to add the following permission to your java.policy in order to get
protectionDomain at this point.
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getProtectionDomain";
