Summary: Container managed authorization does not work in tomcat Key: JSPWIKI-831 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-831 Project: JSPWiki Issue Type: Bug Components: Servlet Container/Java compatibility Affects Versions: 2.10 Environment: JSPWiki v2.10.0 and Tomcat 7.0.52 Reporter: Dietrich Schmidt Fix For: 2.10.1 I have just installed JSPWiki v2.10.0 into a Tomcat 7.0.52. I enabled comtainer managed authorization through uncommenting the last section in web.xml and added appropriate users to the tomcat-user.xml. But logging in did not work. So I debugged jspwiki (/tags/jspwiki_2_10_0) and found, that WebContainerAuthorizer.java contains these lines starting from line 105 // Add the J2EE 2.4 schema namespace m_webxml.getRootElement().setNamespace( Namespace.getNamespace( J2EE_SCHEMA_24_NAMESPACE ) ); m_containerAuthorized = isConstrained( "/Delete.jsp", Role.ALL ) && isConstrained( "/Login.jsp", Role.ALL ); Unfortunately, the shipped web.xml contains a 2.5 namespace, therefor the check for container manager authorization failed. Replacing in web.xml the lines <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5"> with these <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4"> solved the problem - logging into jspwiki worked again. Suggestion: either ship a web.xml with a 2.4 namespace or improve the namespace handling. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
