How to transfer credentials from jboss to a filesystem ?

[delageniere]

Hello,

Our web application is using JBOSS 6 with EJBs3 and we need to read/write data on a file system which is protected.

We log into jboss with the user account "user1/password1", we use this account to diplay web pages protected only for user1, and we would like to read/write data on a filesystem where the directory belong to user1.

How can we transfer the credentials "user1/password1" from JBOSS to access the filesystem ?

Thanks in advance,

Solange

As access to all IO related classes is not allowed by JavaEE specification I suppose there is no way to do that.

But the JVM run under that OS user and you are allowed to write the filesystem.

But again you might run into issues with that

Thanks for the answer. I was afraid of something like this.

Unfortunately , the JVM can not be started with the user concerned, because there are several differents users concerned.

What about to change the permissions and add all such users to a group which has -rwx- permissions (I assume you use UNIX )

No, it is not possible because the users belong to separate groups and they should not be able to see data from the other groups.
