I have been in need of using the <run-as> tag in a Tomcat-only environment... Is this possible? Reading the source indicates that it wouldn't be possible to get the information about the role the context currently is in. Using the requests in-role methods of course tells me about
the user, and not the context.
Have I come to the right conclusion?
No ;-)
You can get access to the Subject by doing Subject.getSubject(AccessController.getContext())
Reading the specs tells me that the functionality is meant for transferring roles to EJB's. Some documentation I found at Sun indicates though that even web-applications should be able to use this.
The way SJSAS 8.x is doing that is by using the Subject and then the principal(s) associated with the Subject.
