To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/637123#637123 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello! I want to implement a custom identity model in order to connect to a proprietary webservice providing user information. So I followed the instructions on http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.7.1/referenceGuide/html/identity.html http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.7.1/referenceGuide/html/identity.html. I am using JBoss Portal 2.7.2 with JBoss AS 4.2.3; java version 1.6.0_29 Here are the steps that I've done: Creating a new maven project, pom.xml snippet: <dependency>      <groupId>org.jboss.portal.identity</groupId>      <artifactId>identity-identity</artifactId>      <version>1.0.7</version>      <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> Implementation of the User interface: package com.mycompany.myIdentity; import org.jboss.portal.identity.IdentityException; import org.jboss.portal.identity.User; public class MyUserImpl implements User { ... } Packaged to a jar file and deployed (= copied) to \jboss-portal-2.7.2\server\default\deploy\jboss-portal.sar\lib. Changes in \jboss-portal-2.7.2\server\default\deploy\jboss-portal.sar\conf\identity\identity-config.xml, replacing the existing User-type module with the new one (it doesn't need any config): <module>      <type>User</type>      <service-name>portal:service=Module,type=User</service-name>      <class>com.mycompany.myIdentity.MyUserImpl</class>      <config/> </module> After starting the server by double-clicking the run.bat und browsing the site http://localhost:8080/portal http://localhost:8080/portal I get the following exception: I get the same exception even without deploying the jar file, just by changing the identity-config.xml file. So I assume that my jar isn't loaded at all. Furthermore my new module has nothing to do with databases and thus needs no JTA transaction. So what am I missing to get this thing working? Thanks in advance for your help. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/637123#637123] Start a new discussion in JBoss Portal at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
