    deploying servlet with  <run-as> not working?

      Hi all,

      I get a "Insufficient method permissions" when I try to deploy a servlet.
      It seams to me as if the <run-as> parameter in web.xml is ignored
      The servlet is defined as follows:


      <servlet-name> glue </servlet-name>
      <servlet-class> electric.server.http.ServletServer </servlet-class>
      <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
      <run-as>
      <role-name>workflowUser</role-name>
      </run-as>


      On initialisation, the servlet accesses an EJB with the following definition in ejb-jar.xml

      <assembly-descriptor >
      <security-role>
      <role-name>workflowUser</role-name>
      </security-role>

      <method-permission >
      <role-name>workflowUser</role-name>

      <ejb-name>AbaWorkflow</ejb-name>
      <method-name>*</method-name>

      </method-permission>
      </assembly-descriptor>



      I receive the following on the console:

      11:29:20,439 ERROR [SecurityInterceptor] Insufficient method permissions, principal=null, method=create, interface=HOME, requiredRoles=[workflowUser], principalRoles=[]
      11:29:20,439 ERROR [LogInterceptor] EJBException, causedBy:
      java.lang.SecurityException: Insufficient method permissions, principal=null, method=create, interface=HOME, requiredRoles=[workflowUser], principalRoles=[] at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.SecurityInterceptor.checkSecurityAssociation(SecurityInterceptor.ja
      va:229)


      Looking at SecurityInterceptor.java, I see that checkSecurityAssociation() does a:
      Principal threadRunAsRole = SecurityAssociation.peekRunAsRole();
      and seams to receive NULL.

      Could anybody please shed some light on this? What am I doing wrong?

      I am using JBOSS 3.2.3

      Thank you

      Hubert
