Wed May 2 14:07:18 EDT 2012

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12689746#comment-12689746 ] 

Stefan Guilhen commented on AS7-4687:
-------------------------------------

Stuart is right. There is a system property that can be used to enable ThreadLocal usage instead of InheritableThreadLocal.

We can set the org.jboss.security.context.ThreadLocal sys property to true in standalone.xml and see how things go. If the AS needs this property to be always true we can set it in the security subsystem when booting the AS.

> There have been problems with the SecurityContext leaking into thread pools, due to the use of the InheritableThreadLocal. 
> Do we still need this to be an InheritableThreadLocal? If so, is there anything we can do to stop it from leaking into thread pools?
