Since Seam v2.1.0, httpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal() is always returning null when using plain J2EE security

                 Key: JBSEAM-3629
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3629
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0.GA
         Environment: Seam v2.1.0GA, WebSphere v6.1.0.17 (Without EJB3 FP), RF v3.2.2, facelets 1.1.14, JSF RI 1.2_09 
            Reporter: Denis Forveille
            Priority: Critical

Since v2.1.GA, it is not possible to use plain J2EE security.
Now, httpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal()  always return null and also
@In
UserPrincipal principal;
does not work

This is  not working because the http request is wrapped in IdentityRequestWrapper (in IdentityFilter) and its getUserPrincipal() method is reading principal variable on Identity component.

httpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal()  should work when seam security is not use,  and so we should have a way to "disable" Seam security
