    JASPIC module not invoked after request#login

    atijms

      I've installed a JASPIC (JASPI/JSR 196) SAM (login module) in JBoss EAP 6.01. It works and is invoked whenever a protected resource is accessed.

       

      However, when I call HttpServletRequest#login it's NOT invoked, and JBoss instead invokes the default file realm login module.

       

      Any rationale for this behavior?

          It may be a bug.  Please create a JIRA issue in AS7.

            Possiby. I forgot to mention btw that GlassFish and WebLogic also don't invoke the SAM after HttpServletRequest#login. So maybe they all have the same bug, or maybe it's a spec issue?

             

            As you have been involved with JSR 196 for a long time, do you know if this issue ever came up in EG discussions? JASPIC was finished before Servlet 3 was finished (nearly 2 years between them), so maybe that's the cause?
