Use of EJBs within LoginModule

[deanouk]

Is it possible to use an EJB within a LoginModule?

At the moment the EJB is set to @PermitAll but the LoginModule is re-called when the EJB call is made within itself...

[deanouk]

After stepping through a bit more carefully...
The EJB is successfully accessed in:
getUsersPassword()

Then LoginModule calls commit().
Which calls super.commit() - which calls getRoleSets() - which on an EJB call inside the getRoleSets() goes back to getUsersPassword() which then loops on itself, over and over, and then finally fails.

Its always a little tricky. Ejb's if they are secured, then to call them you should first be jaas logged in...But if you call the ejb from a Login Module, without being logged in, you go into an indefinite loop...Its like a re-entrant call with ejb's...Situation is different if you have @PermitAll...technically it should let you through

The EJB I'm calling is set to @PermitAll

It appears to be on the second call to the EJB, it's very odd, but I'm desperate for a solution.

First ensure that your EJBs are working with the default JAAS configuration of "other". Then bring in your login modules.
