NPE in EJBContextHelper.getCallerPrincipal(EJBContextHelper.

[anx]

@Stateless
@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
@SecurityDomain("JBossWS")
@PermitAll
public class Service1Impl implements Service1 {

 @Resource
 private WebServiceContext wsCtx;


 public MyWsImpl() {
 log.info("Ctor");

 }

 @WebMethod
 public String work(String arg) {
 log.info("A: " + arg);
 log.info("Ctx: " + wsCtx.getUserPrincipal().getName());
}

[anx]

Any attempt to call method 'work' failed due to exception:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
 at org.jboss.ejb3.security.helpers.EJBContextHelper.getCallerPrincipal(EJBContextHelper.java:99)
 at org.jboss.ejb3.EJBContextImpl.getCallerPrincipal(EJBContextImpl.java:136)
 at org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.WebServiceContextEJB.getUserPrincipal(WebServiceContextEJB.java:45)
 at org.test.ws.Service1Impl .work(MyWsImpl.java:54)

But as described in EJB3 documentation wsCtx.getUserPrincipal() must return "anonymous" principal in this case.

[anx]

I used Jboss 5.1.0.GA.

Could you please open a JIRA https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE and provide more details about your application and if possible even attach it there?

@Resource
 private WebServiceContext wsCtx;

Try using

@WebServiceContext
 private WebServiceContext wsCtx;

Are you using

org.jboss.aspects.security.SecurityDomain

or
