Could anyone enlighten me as to whether or not it is possible to query security information from the code (not including the ejbContext).

The reason I ask is because we are attempting to convert our app from weblogic to jboss. Currently we do a lot of the security with our own classes (developed yonks ago !) and don't use JAAS, however we do query the Security Realm in weblogic to get such information as getAllGroups() get principals/subjects for groups etc. as well as querying ACLsa . Is it possible to return information that say is stored in the user.properties or roles.properties file though a generic interface (JAAS ?) with JBoss?

I would most appreciate any advice/help anyone can give.

Cheers
David
