ExtendedFormAuthenticator problem
Hello,
I've followed the wiki article http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/ExtendedFormAuthenticator so that I can get at the j_exception session variable and provide my users with some useful feedback as to why they couldn't login to our app.
Only problem is, if I provide an invalid username/password, I get the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Security Context is null at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationActions$GetAuthExceptionAction.run(SecurityAssociationActions.java:172) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationActions.getAuthException(SecurityAssociationActions.java:308) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.ExtendedFormAuthenticator.populateSession(ExtendedFormAuthenticator.java:182) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.ExtendedFormAuthenticator.forwardToErrorPage(ExtendedFormAuthenticator.java:125) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator.authenticate(FormAuthenticator.java:260) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.ExtendedFormAuthenticator.authenticate(ExtendedFormAuthenticator.java:88) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:417) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:92) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.process(SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.java:126) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.invoke(SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.java:70) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:158) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:330) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:829) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:598) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
Our login module extends AbstractServerLoginModule and otherwise works great. We do have our own custom Principal object. Any idea why this exception might be getting thrown?
