Conflict of weblogic with jaas.jar

Question

Hi there,
I am using weblogic6.0+sp1 for JAAS simple and SSL authentication. Sun's
implementation class com.sun.security.auth.login.ConfigFile in jaas.jar
is conflict with the Config class I implemented that extends
Configuration to parse the login policy file and return the array of
AppConfigurationEntry. If this jaas.jar gets picked up before
weblogic.jar (For some jdk version, this jar is put under the jdk's
lib/ext directory) the sun's implementation will be picked up instead of
mine and this will results in failure. I am wandering if this is a bug
or not?
Thanks,
Cathy

Answer 1

This has nothing to do with the class name, since both my implementation and
sun's are subclass of Configuration class. Runtime, it will pick up sun's if
jaas.jar is put in front of weblogic.jar.

An aside related question: isn't jaas.jar always installed in lib/ext?
Otherwise, couldn't you rename your ConfigFile class so it doesn't match
Sun's?
