I need to do FilePermission checking inside an ejb. I am planning to call Subject.doAs(). Inside the run() method of PrivelagedAction object I will call AccessController.checkPermission().
I have 2 questions
1. Is this the right approach
2. Inside the ejb how do I get hold hold of the Subject object which I need to pass to doAs().
I am using JAAS client side and server side login. I would appreciate any help
Thanks,
Pranab
java.security.Principal p = ctx.getCallerPrincipal();
( where ctx is your session or entity contect )
would give you principal object assotiated woth this
method call
( it would be login name typically )
But it's not so good idea to do file system stuff from EJB...
