JMS & Authentication

[ryankimber]

I've been successful in using Seam to connect to a queue and a topic that I've created in JBoss Messaging (on Jboss 5), but I haven't been able to find any documentation on authenticating the session (I've checked the reference documentation, looked at the source code, checked Seam In Action and the Seam Framework Revolution... books).

I definitely need to protect the queues in this application with authentication. Is there a way to configure a usercode and password or do I need to create my own connection factory instance and manage it myself?

Any guidance you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

First create your session 'manually' to verify it works:

Connection conn = connectionFactory.createConnection("user", "password");
Session session = conn.createSession(true, Session.AUTO_ACKNOLEDGE);

Then, you can write a Seam component that creates one for you. Just add a username and password to Seam's QueueConnection and use those in the @Create method. Btw, you can have one component for both queue and topic connections if you use the JMS 1.1 API's (which the Seam classes don't)

Thanks for the reply Nikolay, but this doesn't directly answer the question. I've done lots of JMS in the past - creating a connection, session and sending messages to the queue won't be a problem.

However, it would be really nice if I could take advantage of the components built into Seam. Were they really created without including support for authentication? I seriously find it hard to believe that forward-thinking team behind Seam and Weld would have skipped authentication support?

Is there really no support for passing a user-code and password to the Seam JMS components?

Did you really read the code? If you did you would've seen that there is no support for passing a username/password. So you should:

1. Write a Seam component that does support authentication and use it your project. It is really easy, just look at Seam code


2. File a feature request in JIRA with a patch


3. Take it up with the Seam/Weld team :)
