Startup Servlet invoking secure EJB in JBoss

[Jaikiran Pai]

Hi,
I have a startup servlet, in Jboss, which is invoking an secured EJB. I am able to invoke the method the bean without any exceptions.

My question is, what role does the startup servlet use for invoking the bean, since no user has yet logged in? How is it able to invoke the method on the bean, which is secured?

Thank you
