@Service + @Management + @Remote + @SecurityDomain?

[elkner]

Is this bean (@Service + @Management + @Remote + @SecurityDomain) possible ?

For my case, @Service + @Management + @Remote works, but as soon as I add @SecurityDomain (since I do not want, that unauthenticated users are allowed to invoke service methods), I get an exception like:

2006-03-28 00:03:03,649 WARN [ScannerThread:org.jboss.system.ServiceController:424] - Problem starting service jboss.j2ee:ear=foo.ear,jar=foo-ejb-0.0.9a.jar,name=UpdateService,service=EJB3,type=ManagementInterface
javax.ejb.EJBAccessException: Authentication failure
at org.jboss.ejb3.security.Ejb3AuthenticationInterceptor.handleGeneralSecurityException(Ejb3AuthenticationInterceptor.java:46)
at org.jboss.aspects.security.AuthenticationInterceptor.invoke(AuthenticationInterceptor.java:71)
at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:98)

The bean in question (UpdateService) is annotated with @Service + @SecurityDomain("bla"), the IF it implements with @Remote, @Management.

@Service is required, since I need a singleton.
@Management is required, since I want the "service" get started automatically at deployment/server startup (starts a TimerTask to do stuff in a cronjob manner)
@Remote to make it easy, to access the "service" from a remote client
@SecurityDomain because of @Remote ;-)

Any hints ?

This is a bug. I've created a JIRA task: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-492

[elkner]

Was slightly faster: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-491 ;-)

For the short term, if your Management interface does not implement the lifecycle methods (create, start, stop, destroy), the problem will not occur. The authentication exception occurs when the Service create method is invoked. Working on a long term fix.

[elkner]

Thanx for the info. Unfortunately I need start() and stop() to fire up/cancel timer threads :(

BTW: What are your estimations? Is it possible to have it fixed in RC2?

[bdecoste]

This is fixed, but won't be available until our next release - EJB RC6.

Thax a lot. Hope it doesn't take too long ;-)
