    Description

      Due to the security implications of PrivilegedInterceptor and PrivilegedWithCombinerInterceptor, these two interceptors were changed to be no-operation a while back. These interceptors have been removed in jboss-invocation 1.5.0.Beta2. PrivilegedWithCombinerInterceptor is still currently being used in WildFly but we should be able to drop the use of this interceptor.

      Relevant HipChat discussion with David:

      [3:18 PM] Farah Juma: So far, with the latest jboss-invocation SNAPSHOT, I'm running into many WildFly testsuite failures related to the org.jboss.invocation.PrivilegedWithCombinerInterceptor class not being found
      [3:18 PM] Farah Juma: This class was removed in jboss-invocation 1.5.0.Beta2
      [3:26 PM] Farah Juma: Just wondering what should now be used instead of the PrivilegedWithCombinerInterceptor
      [3:26 PM] David M. Lloyd: hmm that class was actually used?
      [3:27 PM] David M. Lloyd: the class was basically a giant security hole
      [3:28 PM] Farah Juma: it's used in these four classes: DefaultComponentConfigurator, ManagedBeanAnnotationProcessor, EJBComponentDescription, and AbstractIntegrationProcessorJAXWS
      [3:29 PM] David M. Lloyd: I think it's got to be safe to just remove it
      [3:29 PM] David M. Lloyd: because [a] we're not using picketbox anymore, and [b] it was a no-op without a security manager present anyway
      [3:31 PM] Farah Juma: ok, thanks, I'll remove the references to it
      [3:36 PM] David M. Lloyd: to be clear, those doPrivileged interceptors were not specifically to support PB: they were to ensure that applications run with only their own privileges
      [3:37 PM] David M. Lloyd: the combiner part was necessary to propagate Subject, which might still be necessary
      [3:37 PM] David M. Lloyd: but since the privileged part was not, just dropping the interceptors works just fine to propagate Subject (because there's nothing stopping said propagation)
      [3:38 PM] David M. Lloyd: because of the security implications of those two interceptors, they were changed to be no-operation a while ago, so it should be no loss
