Why do passwords with multiple $$ get truncated on JBoss EAP 6 EJB clients?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Having problem with setting password which contains consecutive dollar signs in a remote EJB client.

  • With a debugging tool, it is found that the method PropertiesBasedEJBClientConfiguration is converting two consecutive dollar signs to single dollar sign. For example, $$pass$$$word$$$$ changes to $pass$$word$$. The code is like below :

Properties pr = new Properties();
pr.put("endpoint.name", "client-endpoint");
pr.put("remote.connectionprovider.create.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED", "false");
pr.put("remote.connections", "default");
pr.put("remote.connection.default.port", "4447");
pr.put("remote.connection.default.host", "localhost");
pr.put("remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_DISALLOWED_MECHANISMS", "JBOSS-LOCAL-USER");
pr.put("remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS", "false");
pr.put("remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOPLAINTEXT", "false");
pr.put("remote.connection.default.username",  ImaUser.getName());
pr.put("remote.connection.default.password", ImaUser.getPassword());

EJBClientConfiguration cc = new PropertiesBasedEJBClientConfiguration(pr);
ContextSelector < EJBClientContext > selector = new ConfigBasedEJBClientContextSelector(cc);
EJBClientContext.setSelector(selector);
