    Resolution: Done

This works fine under 4.2. See the testCustomPrincipalInErrorPage, testCustomPrincipalIn403Page tests in org.jboss.test.security.test.CustomPrincipalPropagationUnitTestCase.

> Hi,
> I followed the instruction in the Wiki to set up a custom principal
> http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingCustomPrincpalsWith
> Normally, this works perfectly such that the call to
> request.getUserPrincipal() 
> returns my custom principal type.  However, if a JSP error page is invoked either by the default error handler in the web.xml, or by the JSP declaration, a different Principal object is returned.
> A call to request.getUserPrincipal() in the error handler results in an object of type
> org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JBossGenericPrincipal
> Is this by design?  Shouldn't it also return my custom attribute?
> Thanks,
