Is JBoss completely usable under JDK 1.2.2, including security?
I am a little bit confused (and looking at the mailing list archives and all
the documentation has not helped). The (new) documentation mentions setting
the bean containers properly for JDK 1.2x; that is pretty clear. W/regards
to the security on the other hand, looking at 'JBossSX Security Extension
Framework' and 'JAAS Based Security in JBoss' it would seem like the
security support is mostly all JAAS (which is JDK 1.3 only) based. This is
with the exception of plugging in some sort of custom security manager and
realm mapping based on one of the samples in
org.jboss.security.plugins.samples.
Is this the case?
As an aside, I do not understand how security context information is
actaully being propogated through JNP when doing a 1.1 style lookup and
usage of a bean. The client supplies the principal and credentials when
getting the connection, but JNP simply supplies code for doing bindings and
lookups, and relies on builtin RMI code for support services like transport;
when and how is security context information sent over so that it can later
be used/validated when calling bean methods?
