Knowing Realm (JAAS) at runtime

[ethomas.joseph]

Greetings,

Is there anyway to know at runtime the JAAS Security Realm under which my application is running.
This Realm is the "application polity name" in login-config.xml.

Actually I dont want to hard code the realm to the LoginContext:

...
LoginContext ctxt = new LoginContext("myRealm", callbackHandler);
...
...

Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Can you describe a bit more what you are actually doing? Where is this code going to be called that you have included in the post?
