I added cronjobs to spring app using quartz.

inside these jobs, I would like to access spring-security secured bean methods from another app.

This is my application structure.


| - core
| - webapp
| - jobs-app


both the webapp and jobsapp use core services. jobsapp is not a web application. It just has quartz jobs in it.

Inside a job if I try to access a bean that is secured using SpringSecurity global-method-security I get an exception `{org.springframework.security.AuthenticationCrede ntialsNotFoundException}"org.springframework.secur ity.AuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException: An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext"`

If I set the context using SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthenticati on to a power user, it works.

But, I have to do this for all the jobs.

Is there a way I can make all the jobs runas a particular user? may be some configuration somewhere?
