I want to create a JDBC Realm for my web app. Since my users are very different from each other i need to have just one table, with the usernames and passwords for the realm, i decided to create a new table in my database called ROLE(oneToOne relationship with the other users table).
This is how my users domain model looks like:
I am following this tutorial http://blog.gamatam.com/2009/11/jdbc-realm-setup-with-glassfish-v3.html but i am stuck, i dont know how to continue.
I will post the configuration i made at the glassfish server and also my file sun.resources.xml so you can correct me if i am making any mistake:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE resources PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 9.0 Resource Definitions //EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-resources_1_3.dtd">

<property name="URL" value="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/grupovina;create=true"/>
<property name="driverClass" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
</resources>
In the above comfiguration i have a few doubts, I dont really understand what should i ad at Group table and Group name Column.
The tutorial im following says that i should add security roles at the file sun-web.xml, and i wanted to do it but i dont know what to put in the configuratio. This is just what i added to that file but i think it is not correct. Where in that file should i add the role mapping and how should i configure it?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 9.0 Servlet 2.5//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_5-0.dtd">
<sun-web-app error-url="">
<context-root>/GroupBuySystem</context-root>
<class-loader delegate="true"/>
<jsp-config>
<property name="keepgenerated" value="true">
<description>Keep a copy of the generated servlet class java code.</description>
</property>
</jsp-config>
<security-role-mapping>
<role-name> </role-name>
<group-name> </group-name>
</security-role-mapping>
</sun-web-app>
The guy of the tutorial said he had not need for a web.xml, but i do need that file. What should i add my web.xml?
This is my first jdbc realm, i am very confused 🙂
I assume (from your previous question) that you don’t have a group table. In fact you don’t necessarily need one. JDBCRealm works with only a user table containing a group column as well.
In your Glassfish admin console change the following:
Group Table: Role
Group Name Column: userType
Since you used different typings (letter cases) for the word “role”, make sure that the configuration values for your realm are exactly the same as in the table.
