        Specified by:
        preInvoke in interface SecurityManager
      • postInvoke

        public void postInvoke​(ComponentInvocation inv)
        This method is used by Message Driven Bean Container to remove the run-as identity information that was set up using the preSetRunAsIdentity method
        Specified by:
        postInvoke in interface SecurityManager
      • getUsesCallerIdentity

        public boolean getUsesCallerIdentity()
      • authorize

        public boolean authorize​(ComponentInvocation componentInvocation)
        This method is called by the EJB container to decide whether or not a method specified in the Invocation should be allowed.
        Specified by:
        authorize in interface SecurityManager
        Parameters:
        componentInvocation - invocation object that contains all the details of the invocation.
        Returns:
        A boolean value indicating if the client should be allowed to invoke the EJB.
      • isCallerInRole

        public boolean isCallerInRole​(String role)

        Specified by:
        invoke in interface SecurityManager
        Parameters:
        beanClassMethod - , the bean class method to be invoked
        isLocal - , true if this invocation is through the local EJB view
        beanObject - the object on which this method is to be invoked in this case the ejb,
        parameters - the parameters for the method,
        c - , the container instance can be a null value, where in the container will be queried to find its security manager.
        Returns:
        Object, the result of the execution of the method.
