Resolution

This exception can be safely ignored.

Disable TRACE or DEBUG logging on org.jboss.security.

Root Cause

The Content from anonsvn.jboss.org is not included.EJBAuthorizationHelper looks up the policyRegistration object so the security system can defer to a pluggable authorization system (XACML, etc). However, JBoss EAP 6 does not support deferring to XACML currently.

  try
  {
     if(this.policyRegistration == null)
        this.policyRegistration = getPolicyRegistrationFromJNDI(); 
  }
  catch(Exception e)
  {
     PicketBoxLogger.LOGGER.debugIgnoredException(e);
  }
