At my customer we have a legacy application that used to authenticate to JBoss 4.2.3 via the web container security module in web xml over form based authentication. In our EJBs we restrict the access to method using permissions.

Now we need to throw away the web based authentication and start using a CAS server (external).

When we disabled the security constrain in the web.xml we get error from EJBs (as expected) but we do not know how to inject the principals and workaround the authentication.

The questions are:

I am facing a very strange issue with respect to the cache names referenced by the EhCache module under jboss5. It is pre-pending the word "true" before my cache names and hence they can no be found:

"starting query cache at region: true.org.hibernate.xxx.yyy "

and also:

"Could not find a specific ehcache configuration for cache named true.com.xxx.yyy.xxx.userList]; using defaults.

Has anyone faced a similar issue and was able to resolve it?

No Google references please unless trhere is an answer there, thank you.  

• When migrating your application from JBoss 4.x to JBoss 5.x, some problems might occur.
• Below is a list of some of these possible problems.

JBoss jBPM is a flexible, extensible workflow management system. jBPM combines easy development of workflow-applications with excellent enterprise application integration (EAI) capabilities. it includes a web-application and a scheduler and can be used in the simplest environment like an ant task and scale up to a clustered J2EE application.
The jBPM enables the creation of a workflow management system that bridges the gap between managers and developers by giving them a common language: the JBoss jBPM Process definition language (jPdl).
This article is an introduction and hopefully will help you start using JBPM easily and fast enough. As a first step you can take a look at this reference jbpm reference guide
