Policy Registration Factory

A JNDI ObjectFactory for a PolicyRegistration. This is a work around for SECURITY-864.

This uses deprecated API that is likely going away with Elytron.

Two classes are offered

com.github.marschall.policyregistrationfactory.EmptyPolicyRegistrationObjectFactory

Creates a PolicyRegistration that always throws an UnsupportedOperationException. Useful for cases when a PolicyRegistration is not needed but a lookup happens anyway.

com.github.marschall.policyregistrationfactory.JBossPolicyRegistrationObjectFactory

Creates a new JBossPolicyRegistration.

Installation

You need to create a JBoss module

• put the jar in a ${JBOSS_HOME}/modules/system/layers/base/com/github/marschall/policyregistrationfactory/main folder (or whatever your distribution layer is)
• add a module.xml to the folder into which you put the jar, you can take the one from the root of the JAR
• configure the object factory and bind it to a name

For EmptyPolicyRegistrationObjectFactory add the following to your server configuration (eg. standalone.xml)

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:naming:2.0">
  <bindings>
    <object-factory
         name="java:/policyRegistration"
         module="com.github.marschall.policyregistrationfactory"
         class="com.github.marschall.policyregistrationfactory.EmptyPolicyRegistrationObjectFactory"></object-factory>
  </bindings>
</subsystem>

For JBossPolicyRegistrationObjectFactory add the following to your server configuration (eg. standalone.xml)

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:naming:2.0">
  <bindings>
    <object-factory
         name="java:/policyRegistration"
         module="com.github.marschall.policyregistrationfactory"
         class="com.github.marschall.policyregistrationfactory.JBossPolicyRegistrationObjectFactory"></object-factory>
  </bindings>
</subsystem>
