The API can look like the following: SecurityContext context = // SecurityContextPropagation.setContext(context, Level.THREAD); SecurityContextPropagation.setContext(context, Level.SESSION); SecurityContextPropagation.setContext(context, session, Level.SESSION); context = SecurityContextPropagation.getContext();  //Thread level or internal session context = SecurityContextPropagation.getContext(session); Note: Session is an instance of PicketBoxSession. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/755141#755141] Start a new discussion in PicketBox Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
