Mark Collette suggested the following fix:

com.icesoft.faces.component.inputfile.InputFile class has a line on 246 in Beta
1 version upload method which should be removed

PersistentFacesState.getInstance().renderLater();

Hi.

I tested 1.7.2 RC1 but the problem is still there, even though this bug was marked as fixed.
That's the exception I'm getting when using the file upload component.

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot determine if user in role. User information is not available.

This is still not fixed in 1.7.2, and is a major blocking issue for me.

I tried the 1.8.0 DR2, but it seems to conflict with the OpenSessionInViewFilter.

Anybody have a workaround yet? We've already lost days of dev time trying to handle this.

I also haven't found any workarounds yet. It's of course unfortunate as this critical bug was reported many months ago.

I think it's the combination of using the file upload component on a page requiring HTTP authentication. Also I'm using
an ice:menuBar element with the "enabledOnUserRole" attribute set in the ice:menuItem elements.

I hope these hints will expedite the resolution of this issue.

Our internal tests are passing using ACEGI and Spring Security. What security configuration are you using? Can you send a test case or post in the forums?

Hi

We are using a JAAS security provider under JBoss and we are setting the "enabledOnUserRole" attribute on "ice:menuItem".
Apparently I'm not the only one still facing this issue with 1.7.2, see Stevi Deter's comments on this ticket.

Hi same with me,

we are using Oracle OC4J 10.1.3.x with a custom JAAS LoginModule. Like Silvano reportet, the problem occurs when the page is set with the ice:menuItem and it's attribute "enabledOnUserRole". I've upgraded to the latest prod release 1.7.2., but the Problem remains (i suggest due to the use of JAAS).

Hi Matthias

probably we should file a new support ticket. This one was closed. I asked to reopen it a couple of weeks ago but it remained closed.
I think now its pretty clear what causes the exception (JAAS, ice:menuItem and attribute "enabledOnUserRole")
so the ICEfaces team should be able to reproduce the bug and solve it. If they want.

If you happen to open a fresh one, let me know at silvano@maffeis.com so I can add my comments and add my vote, too.

Regards,
Silvano

FileUpload component still does not work in ICEFaces 1.8.2 if the component resides on a JSF page protected by JAAS authentication. This issue has been around for so long now, very frustrating.
