Getting the default realm

[kreca <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
Im a new user of apache shiro. I've succesfully implemented shiro in our
application and we are very happy with it.

Now I'm trying to clear the cache for a certain principal when updating
credentials.

My problem is that I do not find a way to get the Realm from the web
application. 
Is there a way to retreive this through a static method?
What is the recommended approach of accessing it?

Im using spring so it would be possible to inject it I assume

Best regards
Jonas

That's an even better question ;)

Why looking it up when you can just as well inject it ?

Hi Jonas,

You wouldn't necessarily use Shiro to do this - although you could - but it
would be Shiro implementation-specific and I wouldn't recommend it when
you're already using Spring, which provides nice lookup capabilities
already.

If it is spring based, the easiest thing to do is just to acquire the realm
from the Spring application context:

WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext).getBean("myRealm");

Cheers,

Les
