access to userPrincipal's role of the external context

[adrien.loyat]

Hello

I'm using jboss authentification in my seam application as described in Securing a Web Application in JBoss AS in the wiki.

In a back bean, i'm trying to pupulate identity classe. I am able to get the user name like this :

HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest();
System.out.println( "req login : " + req.getUserPrincipal().getName());
identity.setUsername(req.getUserPrincipal().getName());
identity.login();

I want to get the role too. When debbuging, i can see that req.getUserPrincipal() is a JBossGenericPrincipal. So i should be able to use
req.getUserPrincipal().getRoles(). Nevertheless JBossGenericPrincipal is not visible for me. So I can't cast req.getUserPrincipal() into JBossGenericPrincipal .

Does anybody has I idea on how to access to the roles in the external contexts ?

Thanks for your help.

I forgot to give my configuration :
seam 1.2.1
jboss 4.0.5

I'm using LdapExtLoginModule for jboss authentification.

Thanks

maybe it's not a seam issue. Should I post this on the jboss forum ?

Nothing to do with Seam. Seam currently doesn't integrate with JBoss Security IIRC. There is a feature request open for this.
