How to get the principal on a webservice behind JAAS?

[sjahan]

Hi,

I assume this is certainly a newbie question but i never worked on this pattern before so i'm quite stuck on the question and need some help.

Here is the case: i have some JBossWS webservices : they're just some usual classes with annotations like that:

@PermitAll

@WebService(targetNamespace="http://www.ws.com/portal", name="portal", serviceName="portal")

@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT)

public class WSPortal{

They're protected resource by JAAS, with a LDAPLoginModule which works fine for authentication, the trouble is that i didn't find a way to simply get the login of the connected user (or the principal or anything).

I used to work on servlets and this was quite simple to get it with HTTPServletRequest, but here, that doesn't fit

How am i supposed to get something on the user once i passed through JAAS in a JbossWS webservice class?

Maybe i'm not supposed to authenticate via JAAS, but i have no clue on the matter and i hope someone could help me about it!

Thank you very much by advance for your support,

SJ.

Finally figured out, it's quite simple but i got to look for it with good keywords.

For those who could wonder about the answer, you just declare a variable WebServiceContext in your POJO, with a @Resource annotation.

Example:

@Resource

public WebServiceContext wsCtx;

...

Later:

wsCtx.getUserPrincipal();

Hoping this could help someone later

Have a nice day.
