[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-1414) Seam security - extending Identity class

Seam security - extending Identity class ---------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1414 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1414 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Security Affects Versions: 1.2.0.GA Reporter: Dupont Dupont Assigned To: Shane Bryzak Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.3.0.ALPHA I would like to extend org.jboss.seam.security.Identity class in order to integrate Seam with 3rd party libraries such as Acegi. For this to work I need to overload the Identity subject. Since the subject attribute is private *and* Identity class access it always directly (doesn't use the getter) *and* there's no public or protected setter, I cannot override it. Could Identity class me modified such as : 1. subject attribute is made protected OR 2. adding a protected setter attribute OR 3. [better solution I think] always acceeding to subject attribut via its getter. This issue is related with the post http://jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=110367 Thanks
