[cdi-dev] Types of Principal object

[Romain Manni-Bucau]

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.
