Hi,
Alexander: yes, JBoss supports security, but this is not documented.
See
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg07614.html
and
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04170.html
Also you may wish to search jboss-user mail archives for "JAAS".
John: sessionContext.getEnvironment() is deprecated.
No, you cannot change EJB environment variables or caller principal at
runtime, I think it is stated by EJB specification.
Regards,
Oleg
