I am using JBoss 5.1.0. 1. I call a method that requires a role which the calling user is a member of. This call succeeds. 2. The next call is to a class that creates a JMS message and publishes the message. This call succeeds. 3. The next call is to the same method as in #1. However this time I receive an exception as in the following: Caused by: javax.ejb.EJBAccessException: Caller unauthorized | at org.jboss.ejb3.security.RoleBasedAuthorizationInterceptorv2.invoke(RoleBasedAuthorizationInterceptorv2.java:199) | at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:102) | at org.jboss.ejb3.security.Ejb3AuthenticationInterceptorv2.invoke(Ejb3AuthenticationInterceptorv2.java:186) | at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:102) | at org.jboss.ejb3.ENCPropagationInterceptor.invoke(ENCPropagationInterceptor.java:41) | at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:102) | at org.jboss.ejb3.BlockContainerShutdownInterceptor.invoke(BlockContainerShutdownInterceptor.java:67) | at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:102) | at org.jboss.aspects.currentinvocation.CurrentInvocationInterceptor.invoke(CurrentInvocationInterceptor.java:67) | at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:102) | at org.jboss.ejb3.session.SessionSpecContainer.invoke(SessionSpecContainer.java:176) | at org.jboss.ejb3.session.SessionSpecContainer.invoke(SessionSpecContainer.java:216) | at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.impl.handler.session.SessionProxyInvocationHandlerBase.invoke(SessionProxyInvocationHandlerBase.java:207) | at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.impl.handler.session.SessionProxyInvocationHandlerBase.invoke(SessionProxyInvocationHandlerBase.java:164) | at $Proxy361.setDocumentStatus(Unknown Source) I have narrowed it down to where I call: TopicConnetion connection = myTopicFactory.createTopicConnection(); It appears that after that call, I lose the user credentials for the next method call. The class that produces the JMS factory, connection and session is a utility class and is not part of a persistent unit. Does that have anything to do with it? Thanks.
