@RunAs does not work with @Startup @Singleton

henk53 Nov 20, 2011 5:29 PM

On both JBoss AS 6.10 and 7.02, @RunAs does not work with a singleton session bean.

A web application consisting out of only 2 files can reproduce this:

RolesTestEJB.java

package com.example;

import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.annotation.security.DeclareRoles;
import javax.annotation.security.RolesAllowed;
import javax.ejb.SessionContext;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;

import org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.SecurityDomain;

@Stateless
@DeclareRoles({ "FOO" })
@SecurityDomain("something")
public class RolesTestEJB {

    @Resource
    private SessionContext sessionContext;

    @RolesAllowed({ "FOO" })
    public void securedMethod() {
        System.out.println("In secured RolesTestEJB.securedMethod");
        System.out.println("RolesTestEJB.isCallerInRole( \"FOO\" ): " + sessionContext.isCallerInRole("FOO") + " (expect 'true')");
    } 
}

RolesTestStartupSingleton.java

package com.example;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.annotation.security.RunAs;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.ejb.Singleton;
import javax.ejb.Startup;

@RunAs("FOO")
@Startup
@Singleton
public class RolesTestStartupSingleton {

    @EJB
    private RolesTestEJB rolesTestEJB;    
    
    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        rolesTestEJB.securedMethod();
        
    }    
}

On JBoss AS 6.10, this generates the following exception:

On Glassfish 3.1.1 there is no exception and the following is printed:

INFO: In secured RolesTestEJB.securedMethod
INFO: RolesTestEJB.isCallerInRole( "FOO" ): true (expect 'true')

1. Re: @RunAs does not work with @Startup @Singleton

henk53 Nov 20, 2011 5:41 PM (in response to henk53)

To test that the secured EJB bean can be called at all on JBoss AS, I removed the @Startup annotation and added the following servlet:

RolesTestServlet.java

package com.example;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.annotation.security.RunAs;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

@RunAs("FOO")
@WebServlet(urlPatterns="/test")
public class RolesTestServlet extends HttpServlet {
    
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
    @EJB
    private RolesTestEJB rolesTestEJB;
    
    @Override
    public void service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        System.out.println("RolesTestServlet.isUserInRole( \"FOO\" ): " + ((HttpServletRequest) request).isUserInRole("FOO") + " (expect 'false')");
        rolesTestEJB.securedMethod();
    }    
}

This works correctly (as expected, since it's the same as http://community.jboss.org/message/637368#637368) on both JBoss AS 6.10 and 7.02 and prints the following:

23:32:39,191 INFO  [STDOUT] RolesTestServlet.isUserInRole( "FOO" ): false (expect 'false')
23:32:39,337 INFO  [STDOUT] In secured RolesTestEJB.securedMethod
23:32:39,353 INFO  [STDOUT] RolesTestEJB.isCallerInRole( "Foo" ): true (expect 'true')

So it seems the problem is really with the @Startup @Singleton session bean.

henk53 Nov 21, 2011 4:06 PM (in response to henk53)

As it appears, the problem is a little more general. @Startup @Singleton beans cannot call any secured bean, regardless of whether a @RunAs or @RolesAllowed annotation is used.

If the exact same example as given in the openings post is modified to remove @RunAs and @RolesAllowed, the same exceptions happen.

Thanks for this post. I am having the same problem with JBEAP 6.1 (JBoss 7.2). Did you find any other work-around for this ?

I am using Wildfly beta 1.

I can get a singleton startup bean to call a secured bean by creating a timer on @PostContruct. The @Timeout method then successfully calls the secured bean.

@SecurityDomain("somedomain")
@RunAs("somerole")
@Singleton
@Startup
public class StartUpBean {

    private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(StartUpBean.class);

    @Inject
    private SecuredBean securedBean; //Requires "somerole"

    @Resource
    private TimerService timerService;

    public StartUpBean() {
    }

    @PostConstruct
    public void startControlBeans()
    {
        LOGGER.debug("");
        timerService.createTimer(5 * 1000, "");
    }

    @Timeout
    public void startStuff() {

        try {
            securedBean.start();
        } catch (Throwable e){
            LOGGER.error("Could not start", e);
        }

    }

}

Thomas, this was a bug which will be available as a fix in the next version to be released [WFLY-981] @RunAs/@RunAsPrincipal are ignored for @Startup/@Singleton bean - JBoss Issue Tracker. In the meantime, you can give the WildFly nightly build a try WildFly nightly builds available since it contains the fix.
