JBAS-1429 ReAuthentication Support

[weston.price]

I have been working on this, and am at the point where I need to start testing...that's where the problem comes in :-)

Hypersonic doesn't support changing the user identity of a connection and since this is our default, using HyperSonic for this isn't really adequate. While I can mock something up to test the mechanisms which the underlying identity changes, we need some specific JCBC vendor testsuite to really test the conditions against valid RDMBS installations.

This would actually be useful for a few things

ValidConnectionChecker
ExceptionSorter
StaleConnectionChecker (for 4.0.6)

Further, we really need something like this for our JMS integration strategies with varying providers (notably WebSphereMQ).

Have we ever done, thought about, anything like this beyond the installations in the labs for specific support issues?

Labs is the only way to do it since we can't distribute
the jars to even compile tests for non-free thirdparty software.

That is unless you want to write everything using reflection. :-)

I am interested in helping you test this new feature on Oracle. I need to have reauthentication support for this database, and I'm willing to code the specific Oracle plugin to implement this. Please post a patch with the source code.

Thanks

This topic is pretty old but the question of re-authentication support in JBoss JCA seems still to be open.
Since we face the issues with the JCA pooling I opened a related topic http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4235037#4235037 and there is also corresponding JIRA task https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBJCA-94
