how to set JAAS Subject in HTTPSession

[shahab <sm...@pershing.com>]

Hi:

I would need help with the following -
I am trying to implement JAAS authentication using struts2. I have
implemented the following flow -
user request -> struts action -> login() -> loginModule (implements
LoginModule)

this login module validates userid, password and  in the commit(), it
creates a Principal and adds the principal in the Subject.

My qn is how do I set this Subject in the HttpSession so that I can retrieve
it later, like below -
HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
Principal principal = request.getUserPrincipal();


Please help.
thanx
Shahahb

Hi shahab,

Here's : http://forum.java.sun.com/category.jspa?categoryID=15 for
JAAS related questions.

To set any object into HTTP Session use the setAttribute method:
http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/ , and removeAttribute.

Regards
