Description

Documentation Snippet

http://deltaspike.apache.org/documentation/security.html

Create the Authorizer
@ApplicationScoped
public class CustomAuthorizer
{
    @Secures
    @CustomSecurityBinding
    public boolean doSecuredCheck(InvocationContext invocationContext, BeanManager manager, @LoggedIn User user) throws Exception
    {
        return user.isLoggedIn(); // perform security check
    }
}

Compilation Error

The annotation @LoggedIn is disallowed for this location

Explanation?

I think it's because LoggedIn is missing a @Target of PARAMETER.

@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
@Documented
@SecurityBindingType
public @interface LoggedIn {

Conclusion

Not sure if this is supposed to work, given that LoggedIn is part of PicketLink, not DeltaSpike.

Is there a workaround for this type of situation?
