I have implemented a custom realm to authenticate users off our surly old legacy database, and created some entity beans to make said database less surly. Unfortunately, I can't seem to communicate with the persistence context. The init function in my realm class does this:
try{
emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("ACLEntitiesTestPU");
em = emf.createEntityManager();
}catch(Exception e){
log("Persistence context unavailable");
throw new BadRealmException("Creation of persistence manager failed");
}
which always throws the exception.
So my question is, does a realm even have access to the container? If it doesn't, can I define an independent persistence context? Or, do I really need to go back to old school JDBC queries here?
Many thanks for any help.
