Need to load additional data while authenticating

shafei May 6, 2003 8:05 PM

Hi JBoss gurus..

I've posted this in the mailing list but get no answers so far...so i'm trying the forums.

Currently i'm using DatabaseServerLoginModule with basic authentication to
protect my resources. Upon successful authentication, i also need to
retrieve additional data (name of the person logged in, email and group)
from the database. Wat shld i do so that once the user logs in, all the
necessary data is also loaded from the database and stored in the user's
session. Any code samples ?

Thanks in advance !

You should be able to code a filter to do this.

Thanks Adrian !! It works !! But this means that i need to do this additional database lookup to retrieve the remaining data, in addition to the DatabaseServerLoginModule's own lookup (rite?).
Any other way to do this in one go ?

Thanks !!

the request object has the basic data (remote_user) and can tell you if the user is in the required role.

Other data is still in the DB I am afraid...as these are just additional fields you put for your applicatiion (I guess)

I attach a jsp snippet for dumping request data out, and you can see some user data there.
