Security:090398 Invalid Subject - Spring and weblogic

Question

I am writing a new application using spring and JMS. Myintent is to use Spring's Asynchronous Reception - Message-Driven POJOs. I get the following error.

org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer.refreshConnectionUntilSuccessful[904] - 
Could not refresh JMS Connection for destination     
'xyz_Module!xyz_Queue' - retrying in 5000 ms. Cause: 
[Security:090398]Invalid Subject: principals=[user, groupa, groupb]
java.lang.SecurityException: [Security:090398]Invalid Subject: principals=[user, groupa, groupb]

I have the following spring definition

<bean id="jmsContainer" class="org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer">
    <property name="connectionFactory" ref="connectionFactory" />
    <property name="destination" ref="destination" />
    <property name="messageListener" ref="messageAdapter" />
</bean>
<bean id="connectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName" value="jms/xxxxx" />
    <property name="resourceRef" value="true"></property>
</bean>
<bean id="destination" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName" value="jms/yyyyy" />
</bean>
<bean id="messageAdapter" class="org.springframework.jms.listener.adapter.MessageListenerAdapter">
    <property name="delegate" ref="messageReceiverDelegate" />
    <property name="defaultListenerMethod" value="receive" />
</bean>

I read in several posts that we have to enable cross domain security. I was not convinced that we need to enable Cross Domain Security because several other applications in my company that are MDBs are working just fine by reading from a remote queue. These applications do not have cross domain security enabled in their weblogic servers.

I spent some time digging and by some fortune I discovered that if I restarted the weblogic servers after I deployed my application, I don't see the security error anymore. I am able to get notified of the message in the remote queue.

Although my problem is solved, I am curious to know why I get the error if I just deploy the app and not restart the JVM.

Adding more log information

if you look at the logs you will see that I restarted the server and when the server came up it consumed the message @ 08:58:55

Answer 1

Either we will have to enable cross domain security or you will have to restart the JVM
