XDoclet and Security

[blowagie]

Hello,
I am trying to add security using XDoclet.
I read the instructions, but I didn't succeed in doing this.
I don't understand the cryptic descriptions concerning
mergefiles.

I have changed the build.xml like this:


In the xdoclet-directory, I have the same directory-tree
as my Bean myBean. I have a file jboss-myBean.xml and a
file jboss-security.xml

I haven't got any idea about what to put in this files
(the examples seem to be very well hidden on the net),
but since it are supposed to be 'mergefiles', I made them
like this:

jboss-myBean.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss.dtd">

<security-domain>java:/jaas/mySecurity</security-domain>


and jboss-security.xml:






/var/security/.keystore
myPass



I was kind of hoping that the jboss-security.xml would
be copied to a jboss-service.xml and that the tag
<security-domain> would have been inserted in the jboss.xml
but I guess I am approaching this problem in a very
simplistic way. As I said: I read the XDoclet docs, but
they seem very cryptic to me.

Although I didn't succeed with my entiry security setup, here's what I've found and put into my jboss-security.xml:

<security-domain>java:/jaas/testUsersRoles</security-domain>

That's it! Substitute 'testUsersAndRoles' with your preferred security domain name. Leave 'java:/jaas/' as is.

Yes! That worked! Thanks!!!
I had tried it before, but I realize now that I had the file in the wrong directory. It has to be put in the xdoclet-directory and not in xdoclet/packagedir/of/my/bean/ as stated in the documentation (or did I interprete the docs wrong?)
