Workaround for Compilation Errors when Implementing Authenticator in Seam Security and PicketLink IDM

Due to SEAMSECURITY-66 bug, compiling Authenticator implementation will result in compilation errors, as of Seam Security 3.1.0.Final and PicketLink IDM 1.5.0.Alpha2:

[INFO] Compiling 22 source files to /home/ceefour/git/aksimata-web/target/classes [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[10,30] cannot find symbol symbol : class BaseAuthenticator location: package org.jboss.seam.security [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[12,34] package org.picketlink.idm.impl.api does not exist [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[13,40] package org.picketlink.idm.impl.api.model does not exist [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[23,39] cannot find symbol symbol: class BaseAuthenticator public class LdapAuthenticator extends BaseAuthenticator { [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[35,22] cannot find symbol symbol : class PasswordCredential location: class org.soluvas.ldap.LdapAuthenticator [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[46,4] cannot find symbol symbol : class SimpleUser location: class org.soluvas.ldap.LdapAuthenticator [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[46,26] cannot find symbol symbol : class SimpleUser location: class org.soluvas.ldap.LdapAuthenticator [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[48,14] cannot find symbol symbol : variable AuthenticationStatus location: class org.soluvas.ldap.LdapAuthenticator [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[51,14] cannot find symbol symbol : variable AuthenticationStatus location: class org.soluvas.ldap.LdapAuthenticator [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[52,4] cannot find symbol symbol : method setUser(<nulltype>) location: class org.soluvas.ldap.LdapAuthenticator [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[56,13] cannot find symbol symbol : variable AuthenticationStatus location: class org.soluvas.ldap.LdapAuthenticator [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[57,3] cannot find symbol symbol : method setUser(<nulltype>) location: class org.soluvas.ldap.LdapAuthenticator [ERROR] LdapAuthenticator.java:[30,1] method does not override or implement a method from a supertype

Workaround and the "proper" way to include Seam Security is as follows:

<properties>         <seam.version>3.1.0.Final</seam.version> </properties> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies>         <dependency>                 <groupId>org.jboss.seam</groupId>                 <artifactId>seam-bom</artifactId>                 <version>${seam.version}</version>                 <type>pom</type>                 <scope>import</scope>         </dependency>         <dependency>                 <groupId>org.jboss.seam.security</groupId>                 <artifactId>seam-security</artifactId>                 <version>${seam.version}</version>                 <scope>compile</scope>         </dependency>         <dependency>                 <groupId>org.picketlink.idm</groupId>                 <artifactId>picketlink-idm-core</artifactId>                 <version>1.5.0.Alpha02</version>                 <scope>compile</scope>         </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement>

In addition to the actual dependency:

<dependencies>
       <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.seam.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>seam-security</artifactId>
        </dependency>
</dependencies>

Greetings I just now finished going through your site and Im rather impressed. I actually do have a couple of questions for you though. Are you currently planning on performing a follow-up posting about this? Are you likely to keep updating as well? Furthermore if you get a chance will you rate my own acai berry cleanse web page whenever you have the opportunity?

Server is good, better not seen yet. All the fun just has not been able to find thematic sections and have to look at Old news. In general, you fellows, do a good job
