I'm using a custom auth-method and jboss 5.1 AS doesn't like it. I'm trying to migrate from JBoss 4.2.3.GA to JBoss 5.1.0.GA. The custom auth-method stuff works fine on 4.2.3.GA. *Related JIRA:* https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-2762 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-2762 - (Relax restriction on @WebContext(authMethod). Does this mean I can't use JBoss 5.1 in it's current state? I'd appreciate if there are any workaround suggestions.
