JBoss Seam 1.1.6 & Security
Posted by Joseph Nusairat
A few days ago, I blogged complaining how in Seam 1.1.5 in order to create your authentication class you had to create a method with 3 parameters: username, password, and a mutable set of roles. Well, this weekend I downloaded Seam 1.1.6 and much to my surprise they've changed it. In 1.1.6 you inject an Identity object into your POJO instead. This identity object contains the username, password, and set of roles. I'd like to think my blog had something to do with that, but I highly doubt it ;-) I just wanted to add this correction and send a kudos to the Seam team for changing it. Of course your authenticate method still has to return a boolean ... but that is much more acceptable behaviour.
