RanAs with multiple roles for MDB

[lis0x90]

I have a MD Bean that in onMessage() method should access to other Enity Beans. Access to each entity bean require various specific roles. By declaring ran-as for MDB I can define only one role name. But I need many for each type of accessed enities.

How can I specify multiple roles for run-as or make alias ro many roles
... or somethig else?

review http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd. I do not see any restriction on this.

let me know if you still do not agree, cgriffith

Thanks for reply.

But given schema define that node `security-identity' with type `security-identityType' (name from xsd) permit existing of only one `run-as' or `use-caller-identity' node.

So my question is open again... =(

Yes, but how many security-identities can an j2ee component have?

[lis0x90]

Only one:

<complexType name="message-driven-beanType">
 <annotation>
 <documentation>
 ...
 </documentation>
 </annotation>
 <sequence>
 <group ref="j2ee:descriptionGroup"/>
 <element name="ejb-name" type="j2ee:ejb-nameType"/>
 <element name="ejb-class" type="j2ee:ejb-classType"/>
 <element name="messaging-type" type="j2ee:fully-qualified-classType" minOccurs="0">
 <annotation>
 <documentation>
 ....
 </documentation>
 </annotation>
 </element>
 <element name="transaction-type" type="j2ee:transaction-typeType"/>
 <element name="message-destination-type" type="j2ee:message-destination-typeType" minOccurs="0"/>
 <element name="message-destination-link" type="j2ee:message-destination-linkType" minOccurs="0"/>
 <element name="activation-config" type="j2ee:activation-configType" minOccurs="0"/>
 <group ref="j2ee:jndiEnvironmentRefsGroup"/>
 <element name="security-identity" type="j2ee:security-identityType" minOccurs="0"/>
 </sequence>
 <attribute name="id" type="xsd:ID"/>
 </complexType>

I stand corrected. Sorry I did not read that schema correctly.
