Have you tried executing your code using "AuthenticationUtil.runAs()" ? a code snippet could help us understand the problem.
No, I haven't. Although that doesn't feel like the right approach, I want the code to run as the current user. For info my filter is installed as the final filter in the chain. Here's a cut down snippet of the code - public void doFilter(final ServletRequest request, final ServletResponse response, final FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException { filterChain.doFilter(request, response); NodeRef ref = // parse the noderef from the request object. // spring bean injected field using 'NodeService' from public-services-context.xml if (nodeService.exists(ref)) { // do something } else { // do something else }}
