default-subject does not work with EJB security
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-4367
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4367
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 2.1.3, 2.2
            Reporter: Vamsavardhana Reddy
             Fix For: 2.2


The default-subject does not seem to work with EJB security. I have verified 
this in the following scenario:

I have a stateless bean BankBean1 as given below:

@Stateless
@DeclareRoles(value = {"bank", "customer"})
public class BankBean1 implements Bank {

    @RolesAllowed({"customer", "bank"})
    public Double getBalance(Integer account) {
        return data.get(account);
    }
   
    @RolesAllowed({"bank"})
    public Double creditAccount(Integer account, Double amt) {
        ...
        return value;
    }

    @RolesAllowed({"bank"})
    public Double debitAccount(Integer account, Double amt) {
        ...
        return value;
    }
}

I have a second stateless bean BankBean2 that has a reference injected to 
BankBean1 and uses @RunAs as given below:
@Stateless
@DeclareRoles(value = {"bank", "customer"})
@RunAs(value = "bank")
public class BankBean2 implements Bank2 {
   
    @EJB
    private Bank bank; // BankBean1 gets injected here.

    public Double getBalance(Integer account) {
        return bank.getBalance(account);
    }
   
    public Double creditAccount(Integer account, Double amt) {
        return bank.creditAccount(account, amt);
    }

    public Double debitAccount(Integer account, Double amt) {
        return bank.debitAccount(account, amt);
    }
}

In the security mapping in openejb-jar.xml, if I specify a run-as-subject for 
"bank" role, BankBean2 is able to invoke BankBean1 as per that run-as-subject 
specified.  But if I don't specify a run-as-subject, but only use a 
default-subject, BankBean2 is unable to invoke BankBean1 as per the 
default-subject specified.
