SLSB @RunAs does not affect SessionContext.isCallerInRole

[mnk1]

Hi all,

I have just upgraded to JBoss AS 4.0.5GA and I am experiencing some unexpected behavior. I have two SLSB converted from EJB 2.1 XDoclet beans to EJB3:

@Stateless
@Local(SomeLocal.class)
@RunAs(SomeBean.SOME_ROLE)
public class SomeBean implements SomeLocal {

 static final String SOME_ROLE = "someRole";

 @EJB
 OtherLocal otherLocal;

 public boolean test() {
 return otherLocal.test();
 }

}

and

@Stateless
@Local(OtherLocal.class)
public class OtherBean implements OtherLocal {

 @Resource
 SessionContext context;

 @RolesAllowed(SomeBean.SOME_ROLE)
 public boolean test() {
 return context.isCallerInRole(SomeBean.SOME_ROLE);
 }

}

I would expect that SomeLocal.test() would return true, as is the case with EJB 2.1 and JBoss 4.0.2, but instead the method returns false.

Do anyone know if this a bug in JBoss 4.0.5, or if it is working according to the spec.? As I read the spec. I think that it is a bug, but I would like a second opinion.

Regards
Mathias
