[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-925) separate security gbeans into a separate plan

separate security gbeans into a separate plan
---------------------------------------------

         Key: GERONIMO-925
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-925
     Project: Geronimo
        Type: Bug
  Components: security  
    Versions: 1.0-M5    
 Reporter: David Jencks
 Assigned to: David Jencks 
     Fix For: 1.0-M5


If you need to use a nonstandard (non-geronimo) security policy implementation, currently you have to change the j2ee-server-plan to include the policy class or the SecurityService gbean will fail on startup.  You can work around this by including another SecurityService gbean in a plan that does include the policy class, but it seems a cleaner solution is to put the security gbeans in a separate plan that can be replaced when you need a different policy.  Since security will often need to be customized anyway, this should make it easier to see what you are likely to need to customize.
