get security info about the client

[Yi Zou]

Hi, all,
In First Head EJB book, it says you can get client security info in ebjCreate, ejbRemove, ejbPassivate and ejbActivate.
But in EJB spec page 90, the chart there shows you can only do this
business method.
(Unless, there is other ways to get security info instead of isCallerinRole
etc)
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks

Remember, different bean types have different lifecycles -- so while some allow you to get that information, others will throw a nasty exception (depending on when the time).

Hi Yi,

Stateless session beans can get client security info only in business methods.
Stateful session beans can get client security info in ejbCreate, ejbRemove, ejbActivate, ejbPassivate and business methods.
CMP entity beans can get client security info in ejbCreate, ejbPostCreate, ejbRemove, ejbLoad, ejbStore and home business methods.

I hope this helps you.
