I think you can..Try this ( we did this in our swing client) ....In your swing client you must be having a handle to your callback handler, LoginContext & your implementation of PrivilgedAction CallBackHandler cbh = new FooCallBackHandler(); | LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("FooRealm", cbh); | lc.login(); | Subject userSubject = lc.getSubject(); | // do your secured stuff here | userSubject.doAsPrivileged(PrivilegedAction action, AccessControlContext acc); | // done with my stuff, so i am loggin out | lc.logout() View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4123654#...
