Seam Security loginSuccessful observer not firing

[troy.sellers]

Hi All,

I have configured my Seam App to use the container security

<security:identity jaas-config-name="activeDirectory" />

This may be a stupid question, but would this now mean that my observer is not going to be called?
The Seam docs are a little quiet about this kind of configuration....

I am using JBoss 4.2.3 community server and have configured with an application-policy called activeDirectory, this is configured to talk to an AD 2003 server.

This piece of code lives in the Authenticator (stateless) class that is part of my application.

@Observer("org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful")
public void afterLogin() {
     
     logger.info("User [#{identity.credentials.username}] has logged in");
}

This observer should fire with a successful login under these circumstances yeah?

Cheers,
Troy

from Seam 2.1.1.GA ref doc:

15.3.2.2. Writing an event observer for security-related events
Say for example, that upon a successful login that some user statistics must
be updated. This would be done by writing an event observer for the
org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful event, like this:

@In UserStats userStats;
@Observer("org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful")
public void updateUserStats()
{
userStats.setLastLoginDate(new Date());
userStats.incrementLoginCount();
}

This observer method can be placed anywhere, even in the Authenticator component itself.
