How to change/update login-config.xml without a need to restart jboss server

[javatar]

Hi Friends,

I have a jee application running on jboss 4.2.3GA. Login-config.xml is including the following piece of code;

<authentication>
        ..
        <module-option name="principalsQuery">
            SELECT PASSWORD FROM users WHERE USER_ID=?
        </module-option> 
    </login-module>
</authentication>

However, I want to update this SQL with this one "select password from users where User_Id=? and Status=1" and make it enable WITHOUT restarting JBoss!

I could not achieve by without restart..

I would be glad to hear the solutions.

Thanks.

Hi,

if you use a DynamicLoginConfig (see here: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DynamicLoginConfig ), you will at least be able change config and only have to restart/redeploy your own app, but you can keep JBoss alive.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately I do not user DynamicLoginConfig. I use UsersRolesLoginModule (with properties files) and DatabaseServerLoginModule (with principalsQuery etc.) because of some security issues for my web services.

I wish there is another way..
