Is it possible to define application-policy in the EAR file?

[per_nyfelt]

I would like to consolidate several applications (EARs) running on different servers into one bigger server running one JBoss instance. Is there any way to define application-policy in the EAR file instead of in .../conf/login-config.xml? I'd like the security setup to be unique for each deployed EAR and not global for the whole server configuration. Having it in /conf/login-config.xml also requires a server restart which is not a problem in a one-ear-per-jboss setup but will be a big problem in a many-ear-per-jboss setup scenario. Is it possible to define application-policy in the EAR file?

Best regards,

Have a look at: -

http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/jboss4guide/r4/html/ch8.chapter.html

And locate section 8.4.8 that describes the DynamicLoginConfig service.

This service allows you to deploy the MBean within a sar in your ear that allows you to provide your own login-config.xml that will be automatically loaded when your app is deployed.
