    Description

      Se mailing list discussion: http://www.nabble.com/request.isUserInRole%28%22some-role%22%29-always-return-false-after-%40EJB-injection-td17862975s134.html

      To recreate the malfunction you need to do the following:

      1.Create an EAR with a local session bean and a war

      2. Use the default console security realm (geronimo-admin) for protecting the

      {context-path}/protected/* area
      Create a new group named "partnergroup" and add the "system" user to it. Map the "partnergroup" to the partners role in deployment descriptor (geronimo-web.xml)

      3. Create a simple but form protected(j_security_check) jsp page ex: {context-path}

      /protected/test.jsp.

      /protected/test.jsp
      <%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title>JSP Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h2>Role test</h2>
        <%if(request.isUserInRole("partners")){%>
            user is partner :)
        <%}else{%>
            user is NOT partner :(
        <%}%>
    </body>
</html>

      4. Create s simple Session Bean (EJB) with a simple local method:

      TimeUtilsBean.java
      @Stateless
public class TimeUtilsBean implements TimeUtilsLocal {

    public String getString() {
        return "Hello from Stateless EJB!";
    }
 
}

      5. Create a simple but form protected(j_security_check) Servlet that uses the local EJB (ex:

      {context-path}/protected/info)
      /protected/Info.java
      import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.annotation.security.*;

import no.nimra.geronimo.test.TimeUtilsLocal;
import no.nimra.nis.admin.ejb.*;

@DeclareRoles({"administrators", "partners", "users"})
public class Info extends HttpServlet {
    @EJB
    private TimeUtilsLocal timeUtilsBean;

    
    
    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

        out.println("SessionID: " + request.getRequestedSessionId());
        System.out.println("Principal: " + request.getUserPrincipal().getName());

        if (request.isUserInRole("partners")) {
            System.out.println("User has partners-role...");
            out.println("User has partners-role...");
        } else {
            System.out.println("User has NOT partners-role...");
            out.println("User has NOT partners-role...");
        }

        try {
            out.println("<html>");
            out.println("<head>");
            out.println("<title>Servlet Info</title>");
            out.println("</head>");
            out.println("<body>");
            out.println("<h1> " + request.getContextPath() + "</h1>");
            if (request.getUserPrincipal() != null) {
                out.println("Principal: " + request.getUserPrincipal().getName());
            }
            out.println(timeUtilsBean.getString());
            out.println("</body>");
            out.println("</html>");


        } finally {
            out.close();
        }
    }

    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }

    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }

}



      Description:

      Access http://{context-path}

      /protected/test.jsp. After successfull login you will se that your login has "partners" role. As expected.
      If you access the servlet at http://

      {context-path}

      /protected/info you will notice that you do not have the "partners" role.
      If you remove the @EJB injection it behaves as expected.
