I want to implement a custom identity model in order to connect to a proprietary webservice providing user information. So I followed the instructions on http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.7.1/referenceGuide/html/identity.html.
I am using JBoss Portal 2.7.2 with JBoss AS 4.2.3; java version 1.6.0_29
Here are the steps that I've done:
Creating a new maven project, pom.xml snippet:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.portal.identity</groupId>
<artifactId>identity-identity</artifactId>
<version>1.0.7</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Implementation of the User interface:
package com.mycompany.myIdentity;
import org.jboss.portal.identity.IdentityException;
import org.jboss.portal.identity.User;
public class MyUserImpl implements User {
...
}
Packaged to a jar file and deployed (= copied) to \jboss-portal-2.7.2\server\default\deploy\jboss-portal.sar\lib.
Changes in \jboss-portal-2.7.2\server\default\deploy\jboss-portal.sar\conf\identity\identity-config.xml, replacing the existing User-type module with the new one (it doesn't need any config):
<module>
<type>User</type>
<service-name>portal:service=Module,type=User</service-name>
<class>com.mycompany.myIdentity.MyUserImpl</class>
<config/>
</module>
After starting the server by double-clicking the run.bat und browsing the site http://localhost:8080/portal I get the following exception:
exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Unable to locate current JTA transaction org.jboss.portal.server.servlet.PortalServlet.service(PortalServlet.java:278) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96)
root cause
org.hibernate.HibernateException: Unable to locate current JTA transaction org.hibernate.context.JTASessionContext.currentSession(JTASessionContext.java:61) org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl.getCurrentSession(SessionFactoryImpl.java:544) org.jboss.portal.core.impl.model.portal.PersistentPortalObjectContainer.getObjectNode(PersistentPortalObjectContainer.java:252) org.jboss.portal.core.impl.model.portal.AbstractPortalObjectContainer.getContext(AbstractPortalObjectContainer.java:112) org.jboss.portal.core.impl.model.portal.AbstractPortalObjectContainer.getContext(AbstractPortalObjectContainer.java:81) org.jboss.portal.core.model.portal.DefaultPortalCommandFactory.doMapping(DefaultPortalCommandFactory.java:72) org.jboss.portal.core.controller.Controller.handle(Controller.java:252) org.jboss.portal.server.RequestControllerDispatcher.invoke(RequestControllerDispatcher.java:51) org.jboss.portal.common.invocation.Invocation.invokeNext(Invocation.java:131) org.jboss.portal.common.invocation.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:157) org.jboss.portal.server.servlet.PortalServlet.service(PortalServlet.java:252) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96)
I get the same exception even without deploying the jar file, just by changing the identity-config.xml file. So I assume that my jar isn't loaded at all. Furthermore my new module has nothing to do with databases and thus needs no JTA transaction.
So what am I missing to get this thing working?
Thanks in advance for your help.
UPDATE 1:
Hello again!
I was able to make a little progress by carefully examining the server log files. The server could not parse the xml file identity-config.xml, so after some experimenting I could make it parse this new file:
<identity-configuration>
<datasources/>
<modules>
<module>
<type>User</type>
<implementation>CUSTOM</implementation>
<config/>
</module>
<module>
<type>Role</type>
<implementation>CUSTOM</implementation>
<config/>
</module>
<module>
<type>Membership</type>
<implementation>CUSTOM</implementation>
<config/>
</module>
<module>
<type>UserProfile</type>
<implementation>CUSTOM</implementation>
<config/>
</module>
</modules
<options/>
</identity-configuration>
I had to add the following code to the \jboss-portal-2.7.2\server\default\deploy\jboss-portal.sar\conf\identity\standardidentity-config.xml
<module>
<type>User</type>
<implementation>CUSTOM</implementation>
<service-name>portal:service=Module,type=User</service-name>
<class>com.myCompany.MyUser</class>
<config />
</module>
<module>
<type>Role</type>
<implementation>CUSTOM</implementation>
<service-name>portal:service=Module,type=Role</service-name>
<class>com.myCompany.MyRole</class>
<config />
</module>
<module>
<type>Membership</type>
<implementation>CUSTOM</implementation>
<service-name>portal:service=Module,type=Membership</service-name>
<class>com.myCompany.MyMembership</class>
<config />
</module>
<module>
<type>UserProfile</type>
<implementation>CUSTOM</implementation>
<service-name>portal:service=Module,type=UserProfile</service-name>
<class>com.myCompany.MyUserProfile</class>
<config />
</module>
As you can see I also implemented Role, Membership and UserProfile. After that, the server complained about some missing properties it needed in those classes. So I added the following to each of those four classes:
IdentityContext identityContext;
ServiceJNDIBinder jndiBinder;
String moduleType;
public String getModuleType() {
return moduleType;
}
public void setModuleType(String moduleType) {
this.moduleType = moduleType;
}
public ServiceJNDIBinder getJndiBinder() {
return jndiBinder;
}
public void setJndiBinder(ServiceJNDIBinder jndiBinder) {
this.jndiBinder = jndiBinder;
}
public IdentityContext getIdentityContext() {
return identityContext;
}
public void setIdentityContext(IdentityContext identityContext) {
this.identityContext = identityContext;
}
Unfortunately the server is still not content with this. I now find the following exception in my server log and I have no idea how to solve this:
2011-11-21 08:55:54,696 ERROR [org.jboss.portal.portlet.impl.container.LifeCycle] Cannot start object org.jboss.portal.portlet.container.PortletInitializationException: The portlet CMSAdminPortlet

Perhaps anyone of you has already encountered such an error?
The element "class" of standardidentity-config.xml must reference the corresponding module, e.g. for User, it has to reference the implementation of UserModule (and not the implementation of User itself: MyUserImpl!!!), and the same for Role, Membership and UserProfile.
So I implemented the interfaces UserModule, RoleModule, etc. But not directly, instead I extended UserModuleService, RoleModuleService etc. to save some work. The missing properties I mentioned in my last post are no longer necessary then and can be removed.
The standardidentity-config.xml now looks like this:
In order to implement those interfaces I had to add the following dependencies to the pom.xml:
