For the ClassCastException itself, I do not have a solution, but I have a workaround which works until I have a clean and staight solution. When retrieving the principal via @Resource public SessionContext sessionContext; ... Principal principal = sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal(); I check the name of the instantiated class via principal.getClass().getName(). equals(MyExpectedPrincipalClass.class.getName()) to assure the correct implementation and to avoid later exceptions. Then I work with reflection to access fields and method via getMethod() and getField(). It works fine, but it is quite ugly. Does anyone have a better idea? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/759783#759783] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
