Property: javax.security.jacc.PolicyConfigurationFactory.pro

Running into this while booting Embedded AS (with all dependencies upon the application ClassLoader):

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: JACC:Error PolicyConfigurationFactory : cannot find class : null
 at javax.security.jacc.PolicyConfigurationFactory.getPolicyConfigurationFactory(PolicyConfigurationFactory.java:143)

Anil advised on jboss-dev that I'm missing jbosssx.jar, but this isn't the case. Can we think of any reason this property wouldn't be set?

Explicitly setting the property in Embedded (as a hack) circumvents the error:

System.setProperty("javax.security.jacc.PolicyConfigurationFactory.provider", "org.jboss.security.jacc.JBossPolicyConfigurationFactory");

And yes, I know that's not in a priv block. ;)

So what I'm looking for is where in AS we set this property so I can determine why it's not available to me in Embedded.

Looks like it's set in jboss-ejb3-core. Found this http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/ejb3/trunk/core/src/main/java/org/jboss/ejb3/security/Ejb3PolicyConfigurationFactory.java

Looks like this one is another casualty resolved by:
