As far as I can tell, EJBUserManager and EJBUser are BROKEN in 1.4.4+. The
getGroups() method always returns null, and any role checking always returns
false (isUserInRole(x)).
This to me is a the most serious bug in Bugzilla, but has received no
attention yet from the guys - sad.
I have a complete working implementation using the above two in 1.3.8.
If anyone else has used EJBUser management in 1.4.4, please yell.
