Hi,
just yesterday, I was investigating how to create my own login panel.
I suppose you are talking about Swing application in ACC?
If so, you must know, that providing custom class does not work for
Glasfish v1. The issue was fixed, when Glassfish team abandoned V1 :/
The good news is that newest V2 builds should be stable enough to
switch.
Here is how does my custom CallbackHandler look like:
public class CallbackHandler
implements javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler {
/** Creates a new instance of CallbackHandler */
public CallbackHandler() {
}
public synchronized void handle(Callback[] callbacks)
throws IOException, UnsupportedCallbackException {
LoginWindow loginWindow = new LoginWindow(this);
try {
this.wait();
String username = loginWindow.getUsername();
char[] password = loginWindow.getPassword();
loginWindow.dispose();
loginWindow = null;
for (Callback callback : callbacks) {
if (callback instanceof NameCallback)
((NameCallback)callback).setName(username);
else if (callback instanceof PasswordCallback)
((PasswordCallback)callback).setPassword(password);
}
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
At first try, I implemented CallbackHandler as a JFrame. I have no
idea why, but when CallbackHandler was a JFrame, my application
couldn't start... Actually it was starting, but I got millions of
exceptions; can't remember what that was exactly, but it was
complaining about some ComponentUI that could not be
registered/initialized/loaded/something like that. It was happening
after successful authorization, just before GUI was about to show up.
Any ideas why that was happening?
I implemented my login frame as separate object. It looks +/- like that...
it was generated using Matisse, so it is actually veeery long, here is
the outline:
public class LoginWindow
extends JFrame implements Runnable {
private final Object lock;
public LoginWindow(Object lock) {
this.lock = lock;
EventQueue.invokeLater(this);
}
public void run() {
initComponents();
}
public String getUsername() {
return usernameField.getText().trim();
}
public char[] getPassword() {
return passwordField.getPassword();
}
private void okActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
synchronized (lock) {
lock.notifyAll();
}
}
......rest of the class.....
}
I must confess, that LoginWindow + CallbackHandler was my first
attempt, when I used methods object.wait() and object.notifyAll(). I
am actually not sure it it is done as it should be, but it works.
I would be happy receiving some advices, if it can be done better :)
You said, Miroslav, you would like to implement additional
functionality, like an option to add new user. I am not sure how you
could implement this, I suppose there is no way of using @EJB
injection before Main classes loads. I think, if you would like to get
explicit access to session beans, you would have to do it using
InitialContext and lookup.
By the way: right now, when user enter incorrect uid/password,
application crashes. Does anyone know how to avoid that? I would like
to display some window with "incorrect login, try again". Any ideas?
