Extending IdentityManager and IdentityStore

[petrik.mich]

Hello,
I have problem extending resp. overriding default IdentityManager. I know that there are similar topics in this forum, but I did not find satisfying explanation.

When I just try to override default IdentityManager using the @Name annotation like this

@Scope(EVENT)
@Name("org.jboss.seam.security.identityManager")
@Install(precedence = APPLICATION)
@BypassInterceptors
public class IdentityManager extends
          org.jboss.seam.security.management.IdentityManager implements Serializable{

     private static final long serialVersionUID = 5693723706540138359L;

}

and in component.xml like this:

<security:identity-manager identity-store="#{identityStore}" name="identityManager"/>

and try to inject it using @In annotation, the default implementation is injected.

@In IdentityManager identityManager;

When I set the class attribute to the name of my implementation class, the injection of my class works ok, but defined IdentityStore is not set.

I have also similar problems with extending identity stores in this way.

Can anyone provide me some guide how to correctly set components.xml and component annotations when I want to use own identity manager and identity store implementation extending the default implementation?

Thanks! ;-)

Your IdentityManager is never created. <security:identity-manager> maps to the default one. Try this instead:

<component class="mypackage.IdentityManager">
 <property name="identity-store">#{identityStore}</property>
</component>

Thank you for your reply.

I supposed that IdentityManager could be overwritten as any other built-in component.

However,
I have solved the problem writing an own identity manager and the authentication method, because I have realized that I have also different requirements on identity manager permission checks.
