Re: OSUser ejb impl

The security hook as provided by the older OSUser 1.1 ejb implemention 
didn't work with JBoss 3.x, I asked about this and Pat had given up on it 
since it wasn't working.  The problem is that JBoss insists on 
authenticating both the web and ejb layers seperately according to whatever 
security modules have been associated with the security domains of these 
layers.  The ejb layer security interceptor will try to authenticate the 
principal associated with a web layer request.  If the web layer is trying 
to make an ejb call just to authenticate itself, as is attempted in the 
OSUser JBoss security module (invoked itself by the web layer's security 
interceptor), there won't yet be a principal associated with the request to 
make the ejb call.  This results in the ejb security interceptor thinking 
that a null principal is trying to call it, and JBoss exceptions.
