[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-3511) User Entity Annotations not working on private fields.

User Entity Annotations not working on private fields. ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-3511 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3511 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Security Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR1 Reporter: Ron Thijssen Assignee: Shane Bryzak Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.1.0.GA Original Estimate: 10 minutes Remaining Estimate: 10 minutes Caused by: org.jboss.seam.security.management.IdentityManagementException: Invalid userClass nl.xxx.xxx.User - required annotation @UserRoles not found on any Field or Method. at org.jboss.seam.security.management.JpaIdentityStore.initProperties(JpaIdentityStore.java:138) at org.jboss.seam.security.management.JpaIdentityStore.init(JpaIdentityStore.java:111) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) When the JpaIdentityStore is initialized, the classes are checked on certain required annotations. The AnnotatedBeanProperty's method scanForProperty is used to check these required annotations. The annotations targets are METHOD and FIELD, and should be used in that way. (do not care about private or public identifiers) getFields() is used to retrieve the class fields. This method only returns the public fields. getDeclaredFields() however returns public protected and private fields.
