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 Assignee: Dan Allen Priority: Critical Fix For: 2.1.1.GA 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
