java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI scheme is not "file"

[robert.m.goodwin]

I am trying to get a basic installation and sample working to help determine if this picketbox is the correct solution going forward for our project.  I asked a question last week about the proper installation procedures for JBossAS 5.1 here (http://community.jboss.org/thread/167152?tstart=0) but have not gotten any response.  Before abandoning my efforts, I downloaded the code and attached a debugger to understand a little more of what is going on.  I am trying to deploy the attached sample service that I found on the discussion boards here.

1. JBossPDP(JAXBElement<?> config)
2. bootstrap(PDP pdp) throws Exception
3. addPolicySets(List<PolicySetType> policySets, boolean topLevel) throws Exception

For each policy set, the location is retrieved.  In my case the value is the following:

META-INF/simple-policy.xml

This call is passed to the following method

isDirectory(String location)

within this method a URI is created from the specified string (META-INF/simple-policy.xml) with the following call

uri = getResourceViaClassLoader(SecurityActions.getContextClassLoader(), location);

which returns a URI with the following value

vfszip:/opt/jboss-esb/server/soi/deploy/sample-service.jar/META-INF/simple-policy.xml

which when passed to the file = new File(uri) generates the exception

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI scheme is not "file"

which causes the deployment to fail.

Any guidance would be appreciated,

-Rob

Anil,

Thanks for the reply.  A coworker pointed me to this article (http://community.jboss.org/wiki/ProtectingEJBWebServicesWithXACMLABeginnersTutorial).  Not sure how I did not see that.  Using the new sample, the service would deploy, but would fail authorization on the 3rd test.  (Details about that can be found in comments at the end of the Beginners Tutoriall.  I debugged into the code down to the sunxacml.PDP class but the source was not available and that is the class that was making the final authorization decision.

I decided to back up and revert my JBoss installation back to the starting 5.1 state and try the sample.  It worked!  So either I updated my JBoss 5.1 instance with the latest Picketbox (3.0 FINAL)and XACML (2.0.6) jars incorrectly ( http://community.jboss.org/thread/167152?tstart=0 ) or the example here: (http://community.jboss.org/wiki/ProtectingEJBWebServicesWithXACMLABeginnersTutorial) is not compatible with the newest release.  The trace logs can be found in the discussion section of the beginners tutorial.

Any ideas on why the sample might fail with the latest bits?

Thanks,

-Rob
