Hello all,
Summary : I have got a problem in JBoss 4.0.2 build with jbas-1875 patch. I have made a workaround and need a verification.
Jboss 4.0.2 builds was successful without applying the security patch. but while building with security patch jbas-1875-patch.zip it throws the following error.
I appiled patch with following steps :
=======================
1. cd to directory where Jboss source directoy
2. Renamed the Jboss source directory
#mv jboss-4.0.2-src src
3. Extracted the patch file jbas-1875-patch.zip
#jar -xvf jbas-1875-patch.zip
which overwrites the Jboss source files and I ignored the server and client directory
Build error details :
============
[javac] Compiling 21 source files to /disk1/release5/jboss/4.0.2/Source/src/connector/output/classes
/disk1/release5/jboss/4.0.2/Source/src/connector/src/main/org/jboss/resource/security/CallerIdentityLoginModule.java:146: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method peekRunAsIdentity ()
location: class org.jboss.resource.security.GetPrincipalInfoAction
RunAsIdentity runAs = GetPrincipalInfoAction.peekRunAsIdentity(); ^
1 error
Reason : The class GetPrincipalInfoAction does not have a static member function by the name peekRunAsIdentity
Possible workaround : peekRunAsIdentity is the member of the class SecurityAssociation. So I made the following changes and successfully built Jboss successfully
File : jboss-4.0.2-src/connector/src/main/org/jboss/resource/security/CallerIdentityLoginModule.java
Step 1 : Import the class import org.jboss.security.SecurityAssociation;
Step 2 :
Line 148
Before :
RunAsIdentity runAs = GetPrincipalInfoAction.peekRunAsIdentity();
After :
RunAsIdentity runAs = SecurityAssociation.peekRunAsIdentity();
Is the above change correct or is there any other alternative solution available.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kalimuthu
