Yoel Spotts updated GERONIMO-2856:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: example-partial.ear
                example-full.ear

example-full.ear has the ejb classes in a signed jar example.jar which 
highlights issue a) -- SecurityException during deployment

example-partial.ear has the ejb classes outside the signed jar, but the gbean 
inside the signed jar. The ear deploys ok, but fails to run due to the same 
SecurityException

> Placing a gbean and/or EJB in a signed jar causes a SecurityException during 
> deployment and/or runtime

>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: public(Regular issues) 
>          Components: deployment
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
>         Environment: Geronimo version 1.1.1. I don't believe the OS and 
> hardware are relevant, but this is running under Windows (both XP and server 
> have been tried)
>            Reporter: Yoel Spotts
>            Priority: Minor

> The issue surrounds Geronimo's usage of proxies and how it relates to signed 
> jars. Thus far, I have encountered two issues in this regard:
> a) If an EJB is deployed as part of an ear, and the EJB classes are contained 
> in a signed jar within the EAR, the EAR will fail to deploy at all (I have 
> tried to deploy offline, but I doubt deploying online would make a 
> difference). I hope to attach a sample of this (named example-full.ear) which 
> highlights this issue. You will note the EJB classes are located in the 
> signed jar example.jar and the ejb's manifest places example.jar in the 
> classpath, so that the classes are found, but the proxies created for the EJB 
> classes are located out of the signed package, just causing the 
> SecurityException.
> b) If a Gbean loaded by an EAR (defined in geronimo-application.xml) is 
> placed in a signed jar in the EAR, the EAR will be deployed, but will fail to 
> startup, due to a SecurityException, again b/c of the proxy class created for 
> the gbean. I hope to attach an ear highlighting this issue (named 
> example-partial.ear). Again, the signed example.jar contains a gbean (and 
> again, the ejb's manifest places the example.jar on the classpath)
> Besides the obvious solution of not signing the jar, it was suggested to try 
> the experimental property: -DXorg.apache.geronimo.gbean.NoProxy=true. I did 
> try that, and it does seem to solve manifestation b) of this issue. However, 
> it won't address part a) above and is still experimental; It does not seem 
> clear what functionality is lost by using this option.
> A possible resolution might be to create the proxies in a different package 
> than the target classes, which might not cause a SecurityException in that 
> case. Another possible avenue came from Dain Sundstrom on the mailing list: 
> "Alternatively, just change the code that complains about the signature.  We 
> could add a flag to the Geronimo class loader to hide all signing data."
