How to get httprequest?

[dva]

I want it to get the IP address in the Login module.

In JBoss 6 i got so:

private String getIP() throws PolicyContextException {
  HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) PolicyContext.getContext("javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest");
  return request.getRemoteHost()
}

In JBoss 7 i get an error: IllegalArgumentException: No PolicyContextHandler for key=javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest

When scanning, I found that there are only two keys: CallbackHandler and SubjectHandler...

Thanks for you answers!

No one has ideas of how to access information on the current HTTP-request from JAAS Custom Login Module?

I also need the HttpServletRequest in the login module, is this a bug or is there another way to retrieve it?

Interestingly I have a comment in my code regarding portlets, I don't remember the background to it.

// This won't work for Portlets - whatever they are
public HttpServletRequest getRequest() {
     return (HttpServletRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
}

The ip address can be accessed by getRequest().getRemoteAddr() ...

I got the same problem... I migrate an application from JBoss 6 to the 7th version, and have the same exception.. is here any way to register policy context handler using jboss configuration?

[aeternitas]

well, no wonder, there is no HttpServletRequestPolicyContextHandler class anymore, PicketBox project contains only SubjectPolicyContextHandler.class and CallbackHandlerPolicyContextHandler.class. So seems that this part was also redesigned by JBoss 7. The question still open: if I create such a handler by myself, can I register it using any jboss configuration file? E.g. security profile?

Has anyone managed to get access to the request in the LoginModule yet?
