No, it wasn't hit by a breakpoint. I'm going to try your suggestion because it sounds cleaner, but I ended up overriding the getDefaultCallbackHander method of Identity to return my preferred callbackhandler and setting up my login module via jboss confuse-igation files....it's still not working, but now it's failing in my code(I think because of some error in my jboss configs) :-).
