> Key: GERONIMO-646
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-646
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: web
> Affects Versions: 1.0-M4
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Tom McQueeney
> Assigned To: Alan Cabrera
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2, 2.0-M1
>
> Attachments: JAASJettyRealm-patch.txt,
> WebRoleRefPermission-patch.txt, WebRoleRefPermissionTest-patch.txt
>
>
> The servlet isUserInRole call eventually gets delegated to
> org.apache.geronimo.jetty.JAASJettyRealm.isUserInRole, which causes a NPE in
> javax.security.jacc.WebRoleRefPermission.hashCode().
> JAASJettyRealm.isUserInRole creates a WebRoleRefPermission, passing it the
> null role that it was passed, then delegates the role check to
> java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission, passing it the
> WebRoleRefPermission.
> When the web role ref permission gets checked, eventually its hashcode method
> is called,
> which tries to compute the hash by getting the hashcode of the (null) role
> name,
> which throws the NPE.
