JDK1.5 and JBOSS 4.0.3 problem

[Andreas Krebs]

Hi List,

when trying to build a webapp that uses JBOSS 4.0.3 with the 
selfcompiled JDK1.5 on FreeBSD I get the following error:

[javac] 
/data/trunk/ng.sources/ng.kernel/com/ng/common/security/integration/jboss/NGLoginModule.java:118: 
abstract method 
initialize(javax.security.auth.Subject,javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler,java.util.Map<java.lang.String,?>,java.util.Map<java.lang.String,?>) 
in javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule cannot be accessed directly
[javac]         super.initialize(subject, callbackHandler, sharedState, 
options);


this seems to relate to a bug in the JDK 
(http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6178365) which was 
solved a while ago. The same build works fine on Linux with Java(TM) 2 
Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05) and on 
Windows, so the problem obviously is with the JDK.

My guess is that the JDK1.5 SCSL sources are missing this (and maybe 
other) fixes, since there hasn't been any changes in the SCSL sources in 
months. Unfortunately I can't find any information on what version the 
SCSL sources are based.

Any feedback is highly appreciated, if I can't find a solution I have to 
use Linux which I'd like to avoid.
Cheers,
