[Exist-open] Temporary "as-user" in Java module

[Patrick B. <pat...@jo...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to do an "as-user" in my Java module. I've been able to
successfully switch users, but I was hoping for it to be temporary, and
currently it leaves me as this user for the remainder of my XQuery's
execution. This is what I'm currently doing.

BrokerPool pool = BrokerPool.getInstance();
org.exist.security.SecurityManager security = pool.getSecurityManager();
User admin = security.getUser("admin");

// context.getUser() STILL equals "patrick" here

DBBroker broker = pool.get(admin);

// context.getUser() is Admin here

See, i don't want to actually change the user on the current context, I just
want another context under which I can do some things as admin. I've tried a
few different things and haven't had the results I'd like. Can anyone
suggest the proper way of doing this?


Thanks!
