Classloading a custom login module

rbrewster Jan 10, 2007 4:45 PM

Using JBoss 4.0.5.GA.

I am writing a custom login module. To get going I copied the source from org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule. My class also extends org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsernamePasswordLoginModule. I put my compiled class into a jar file. If I put this jar into a directory (such as <jboss_home>/server/lib) and explicitly reference the jar in the JBOSS_CLASSPATH, then my class loads OK. But I get this error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/security/auth/spi/UsernamePasswordLoginModule
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)

What's the right way to do this? Can ProxyLoginModule be used? How?

Thanks.

Why has no one replied. This is a very basic question. How can JBoss load my custom login module? I have found nothing useful on the internet. Please help.

By trial and error I answered this question. A custom login module is packaged into a jar and placed into the <jboss-home>/server/<server-name>/lib directory.

There are so many different deployment directories, it is confusing. Maybe this will help someone else. I found this post in several search engines.
