ejb-security-* Quickstarts backward compatibility
Last modified: 2014-01-12 19:22:50 EST
Description of problem: jboss-security had package name changes from 7.2 to 7.3 which caused the Quickstarts (ejb-security-*) to stop working. I made some changes to fix that: https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts/commit/9c964b3f57ffcf8799c0d256f7a1da0cd14133a0 https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts/commit/22dfa2ac62da481698e1aff412bb63146973d9bb but since this causes some backwards compatibility problems I'd like to revert than and ask that the API should be fixed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): <module name="org.jboss.as.controller" /> <module name="org.jboss.as.core-security" /> Version: From: 7.2.1.Final-redhat-10 to 7.3.0.Final-redhat-8 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Checkout https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts 2. Checkout 6.2.x branch 3. Cd into ejb-security-plug 4. Run the quickstart Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The ejb-security-interceptors, ejb-security-plus, and ejb-security-propagation quickstarts use private APIs and should not have been accepts as EAP quickstarts. I suggest we remove them from both the master and 6.2.x branch of https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts. See: https://docspace.corp.redhat.com/docs/DOC-105009
If these were not shipped with any previous releases, I'm in favor of removing them, to discourage users from relying on private APIs.
The documentation also points to that quickstart: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.1/html-single/Development_Guide/index.html#Change_the_Security_Context_Identity It states: Refer to the ejb-security-interceptors quickstart for a complete working example.
In that case we probably need a separate BZ to figure out whether that API change is acceptable. And decide if it needs to be changed back, or add some compatibility layer.
See related issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1017856
For the ejb-security-interceptors quickstart: * The changes to the imports in the source code was reverted. * A note was added that it uses a private API. * The quickstart will not compile with the ER5 app server. The plan is to revert back to and deprecate the API. The new ejb-security-plus and ejb-security-propagation quickstarts: * Were removed from https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts/ 6.2.x branch. * The same 2 quickstarts will be moved from the master branch to https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-sandbox-quickstarts
Verified on EAP 6.2 ER6
