refactor for easier extensibility of seam identity: seam identiy interface + seam identity base impl
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2240
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2240
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA
            Reporter: koen handekyn
            Priority: Optional


to allow easier extensibility of the seam identity class it would be useful to have a clear seam identity interface with complementary base impl from (package org.jboss.seam.security)

use case: i'm trying to define my own seam identiy that contains as an extra parameter domain (login at domain/password). 

to have a complete implementation (which also saves the domain into a cookie) i'm stuck as

1. i don't know have an interface that I should satisfy if I wanted to make an implementation from scratch
2. extending from seam idenity has some issues : i missing some protected accessors to some private members (that maybe could be protected?)

alternatively my question would be solved if i could have extension points within initFromCookie and at "setCookieValueIfEnabled( getUsername() ); from method postAuthenticate()"  such that i could combine and split login and domain when saving/reading the cookie.
