Hi,
my question is:
Does an EJB server need to support authentication to be compliant
with the EJB 1.1 spec ?
More precisely: does EJB spec 1.1 require the method:
EJBContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName()
to work correctly ? "Correctly" means:
a) return a name (if server/client is setup correctly)
b) return a different name for different users (not a dummy default)
As far as I know the following AppServers do not support this:
- Inprise AppServer 4
(without SecurityService, which is not available today)
- Persistence PowerTier
How about the other servers ? Do they support getCallerPrincipal() ?
With kind regards
