To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/630644#630644 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I assume this is certainly a newbie question but i never worked on this pattern before so i'm quite stuck on the question and need some help. Here is the case: i have some JBossWS webservices : they're just some usual classes with annotations like that: @PermitAll @WebService(targetNamespace=" http://www.ws.com/portal http://www.ws.com/portal";, name="portal", serviceName="portal") @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT) public class WSPortal{ They're protected resource by JAAS, with a LDAPLoginModule which works fine for authentication, the trouble is that i didn't find a way to simply get the login of the connected user (or the principal or anything). I used to work on servlets and this was quite simple to get it with HTTPServletRequest, but here, that doesn't fit :( How am i supposed to get something on the user once i passed through JAAS in a JbossWS webservice class? Maybe i'm not supposed to authenticate via JAAS, but i have no clue on the matter and i hope someone could help me about it! Thank you very much by advance for your support, SJ. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/630644#630644] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
