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
}
}
