Application based security using evermind's RoleManager

[edkocol]

I have converted an application that was originally deployed to Oracle's J2EE AS. This application used evermind's RoleManager (included in the AS in oc4j.jar)

The code to utilize the RoleManager is:

com.evermind.security.RoleManager
manager = (com.evermind.security.RoleManager)new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/RoleManager");

In running the application in Jboss this yields the following error:
<<<< Root Cause Exception >>>>> javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: RoleManager not bound at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:495)


What I thought was necessary to solve this problem was to add the jar file containg the RoleManager class to the <jboss_home>/server/lib directory. After rebooting the machine, this did not solve the problem. I received the same error as above.

Then I tried:

... InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/RoleManager");

This too did not solve the problem. I recieved the same error as above.

I would like to see this appliation work under Jboss before I consider investing the time in overhauling the security to JAAS.

Can anyone help me with this?

ensure that the JNDI name is correct

Thanks so much for the advice. I'm not sure how I would check if the JNDI name is correct since I did nothing (that I'm aware of) to create a JNDI name for this class.

I thought I would see the RoleManager class in the jmx console but I'm begining to think I need to do more than palce a jar file in the <jboss_home>/server/default/lib directory in oder for the class to be a valid JNDI name.

What steps would I need to take to create the JNDI name for gthis class?

TIA for any help.

I left this problem behind for sometime now. Can anyone help me understand how to attach this class to a JNDI name?
