[jboss-as7-dev] SecurityAssociation, getCallerPrincipal() returns null

[Alessio Soldano]

Hi Anil,
are you talking about org.jboss.security.SecurityAssociation? I'm using 
that (can see it in PicketBox 4.0.0.Beta3) currently on AS7, most 
probably my tests go through different usage and both set and get the 
principal. Can you point me to some doc or share info on what's going to 
be used instead of it?
Thanks
Alessio
