    Subject Returning Read-only

    dblaisdell

      I am building an auditing system and using security proxies to keep track of changes to entity beans. In addition to the actual data that has changed I am keeping track of the Principal(username) and the date that the modification has taken place. I want to store one additional piece of information, a simple Index that counts each login. So when I group a modifications I can tell exactly which authentication session it was done in. I have created an index in my database and a custom object that i'm trying to add to the credentials. Everytime I go to modify the Subject I am getting an IllegalStateException, Subject is Read-only. I have looked through both the login-config.xml file and the source for the DatabaseLoginModule and parent classes and can not find where this is being set. Am I configuring something incorrectly or is this code not the correct way to push a variable into the context?

      DataSource is Postgres.
      LoginIndex is a custom class with one variable and one accessor.
      subject.getPublicCredentials().add(...) is the line that is failing. Thanks for any help.
      The top check is because I only want to set the loginIndex one time.


      protected void getSubject() {
      if (this.subject!=null) return;
      try {
      InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
      Subject subject = (Subject)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/security/subject");
      try {
      DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup(MyBean.dbName);
      Connection con = ds.getConnection();
      String selectStatment = "select nextval('employeelogin_seq') as login";
      PreparedStatement prepStmt = con.prepareStatement(selectStatment);
      ResultSet rs = prepStmt.executeQuery();
      if (rs.next())
      subject.getPublicCredentials().add(new LoginIndex(rs.getInt("login")));
      } catch (SQLException e1) {
      e1.printStackTrace();
      }
      this.subject = subject;
      } catch (NamingException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
      throw new SecurityException("Subject Not Authenticated.");
      }
      }
