Why java.lang.IllegalAccessError when instantiating LoginContext in WildFly?

[valsaraj007]

LoginContext loginContext = null;

        try {

            loginContext = new LoginContext(customLoginModule, new CallbackHandler() {

                public void handle(Callback[] callbacks) {

                    int len = callbacks.length;

                    Callback cb;

                    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {

                        cb = callbacks[i];

                        if (cb instanceof PasswordCallback) {

                            PasswordCallback pcb = (PasswordCallback) cb;

                            pcb.setPassword(PasswordHolder.getInstance().getKeyStorePassword());

                        }

                    }

                }

            });

            loginContext.login();

            return loginContext.getSubject();

        } finally {

            if (loginContext != null)

                loginContext.logout();

        }

This is the code that throws IllegalAccessError in WildFly 8.2.0. Is there any change needed in later versions of JBoss. This was working fine in JBoss 4.2.2.GA.

I added break points in login module but control not reached there. It thrown exception as soon as new LoginContext is called.

When I checked found the following code change to fix issue in WebLogic server:

loginContext = new LoginContext(..);

subject = loginContext.login();

to:

subject = weblogic.security.services.Authentication.login(..);

Is there anything like this needed in WildFly?

I had issue when called a static method from a utility class from MDB to instantiate LoginContext. This is fixed when I copied that code to MDB. I don't know what was the actual cause of that issue.
