jboss 4.2.3 application connecting IBM Filenet

I developed a simple demo web application using JSF2.0 and hibernate. This webapp use IBM FileNet 4.5.1 to store and retrieve the uploaded files. If I deploy this webapp on JBoss 6.0, everything works fine. But a customer ask me to deploy it on a JBoss 4.2.3 for evaluating... and it doesn't work. When I try to access IBM Filenet I receive an error... here's the stack trace:

Can somebody suggest a solution? The stack trace talk about a users.properties file, but I don't have it neither in JBoss 6.0. And if I really need to create one in order to let JBoss 4.2.3 works, what should I put inside? I configure the connection against FileNet in my code, reading the parameter from elsewhere... what's the difference between jboss 4.2.3 and jboss 6.0 that's causing me these troubles?

Solved! It was a stupid mistake. In the file login-config.xml you need to add this

<application-policy name="FileNetP8WSI">
    <authentication>
        <login-module code="com.filenet.api.util.WSILoginModule" flag="required"/>
    </authentication>
</application-policy>

in order for the communication with Filenet to work. I mispelled it, that's why it didn't work.

Which transport protocol are you using? IIOP or WSI? If you're using WSI, then your app should theoretically work. Your CE is hosted on a Jboss 6.0 instance, right?

I assume that you're using the IIOP transport protocol. In that instance, your client app needs to have the same J2EE libs as the server app. I've never written a FileNet client on Jboss before, but using WebLogic or WAS, you need the same version of the .jar file on the client as you do on the server. So for example, if I was writing a client that was talking to a CE that was hosted on a WebLogic system, I would need to use the same version of weblogic.jar on the client as is hosted on the server.

It is possible to write a client that runs on a different version of Jboss as the CE, but you would need to use the WSI transport protocol. The good news is that you don't need to make any code changes - you just need to change your config to use WSI instead of IIOP.
