Re: [cdi-dev] Types of Principal object

Hi John, agree CDI/security integration (mainly through Principal bean) is completely unusable in practise cause Principal type is too simple (name only) and casting is needed in 99.99% of apps. AFAIK It is tracked at https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-597.
