Getting the Security-Domain

[anbenham]

Hi,

how is it possible to get the security-Domain-name in which an application is running at runtime?

[adrian.brock]

URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().findResource("META-INF/jboss.xml");
and parse the xml yourself?

Regards,
Adrian

Hi,

it´s not really a smart way. Thanx anyway.

Is it possible to get the instance of the securitymanager.
it has a mthod named getSecurityDomain?

Yes, through JMX.
You can also look it up in jndi
java:/jaas/MySecurityDomain

You could just add the security domain as an env-entry
if you make sure the two configurations are in sink.

IIRC, the container MBean exposes accessor to the BeanMetaData, might be less work to get it through JMX.

Of course, "application" could mean any component in J2EE framework. I don't know if there's an association from the thread to the security manager directly.

It is not exposed by the Container MBean, but you can get the Container
object from the MBeanRegistry.

It is done in this testcase:
