I realise this is a late reply, but hopefully someone will find this answer useful. Step 1) override the getUserStatus method in your custom loginModule ie. | @Override | protected UserStatus getUserStatus(String inputPassword){ | MyUserVO user=getUserService().getUserByName(getUsernameAndPassword()[0]); | if (!myLoginCheck(user)){ | return MyUserStatus.MY_ERROR_MESSAGE_1; | } | return super.getUserStatus(inputPassword); | } | Step 2) pseudo extend UserStatus (the constructor is actually private so you need to reflect it). note: getUserStatus is called in the Login method if the login is successful - so remember to put any logic for a failure is the Abort method and successful login code in the Commit method ie. | public class MyUserStatus { | public static UserStatus MY_ERROR_MESSAGE_1=naughtyCallOfPrivateConstructor(33945); | private static UserStatus naughtyCallOfPrivateConstructor(int i){ | try{ | Class<?> c = Class.forName(UserStatus.class.getCanonicalName()); | Constructor[] allConstructors = c.getDeclaredConstructors(); | for (Constructor ctor : allConstructors) { | ctor.setAccessible(true); | UserStatus res=(UserStatus)ctor.newInstance(i); | ctor.setAccessible(false); //return it just in case this causes an issue elsewhere | return res; | } | }catch(IllegalAccessException e){ | e.printStackTrace(); | }catch(Exception e){ | e.printStackTrace(); | } | return null; | } | } | Step 3) change your portal-server.war/login.jsp to use the new MyUserStatus - ie. | else if (MyUserStatus.MY_ERROR_MESSAGE_1.equals(request.getAttribute("org.jboss.portal.userStatus"))){ | out.println(rb.getString("ACCOUNT_MY_ERROR_MESSAGE_1")); | } | and don't forget to put the error message text in the resources file (Resource.properties in conf/bundles/) hope this helps, M View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4233208#...
