Hi,
In Geronimo 2.2, we have a tight reference of
ConfigurationFactory in the webappcontext, so it seems that we
always need to add the dependencies of the security realm it uses in
the deployment plan, even if the global attribute of the security
realm is set with true, right ? So when will we need to set the
global with false ?
Set global to true if you are using the realm in openejb, otherwise I
advise setting it to false. The point of non-global realms is to
allow duplicate realm names, since the realm is scoped to the
ancestors of the plugin that is using the realm. Since openejb does
all the security from the openejb plugin rather than from individual
ejb app plugins, a realm used by openejb has to be global or be an
ancestor of the openejb plugin. Since web apps do security per-app,
non-global works fine for them.
