Class LoginModuleWrapper

java.lang.Object

org.nuxeo.runtime.api.LoginModuleWrapper

All Implemented Interfaces:

LoginModule

public class LoginModuleWrapper
extends Object
implements LoginModule

A login module wrapper to overcome the class loading issues on OSGi frameworks.

A login module is specified using the class name - and when doing a login against that module the login context will get a class instance for the module by using Clas.forName and the current thread context class loader. This means in an OSGi application the class loader of the caller bundle will be used to resolve the login module. But the caller bundle may not have any dependency on the login module since it is not aware about which login module implementation is used underneath - so in most cases the login module class will not be found.

For this reason all the contributed login modules will be wrapped using this class. As almost any Nuxeo bundle have a dependency on runtime this class will be visible from almost any Nuxeo bundle. So, the login context will instantiate this wrapper instead of the real login module and the wrapper will use OSGi logic to instantiate the wrapped login module. (by using the bundle that contributed the login module)

IMPORTANT

This class is in org.nuxeo.runtime.api package to be visible to any bundle that uses Nuxeo runtime. This is because this package is imported by almost any bundle using Nuxeo runtime - so you don't need to declare the import package in the OSGi manifest. In the case you don't use runtime but you are doing logins in the context of your bundle you must import the package org.nuxeo.runtime.api in your manifest.
