> Currently, JBoss SX creates an instance of JBossGenericPrincipal with a fixed list of security roles obtained from JAAS LoginModule.  This special principal is cached into Tomcat, and unchanged during the course of a user session.  There is no trivial way to refresh security roles within a session.
> I have this need because my application has an administration interface that grants permissions to various web application.  I need to have user permission changes to be reflected immediately without having current sessions to log out and then log back in to take effect.
> Unfortuately, due to the product requirement, I have to recompile JBoss and modify JBossGenericPrincipal to make it a public class.  I hope to get rid of this custom change, and adopt a supported method from JBoss in the future releases.
