Gary Brown closed RTGOV-614.
----------------------------
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.1.0.Final)
       Resolution: Rejected


Not an issue - SecurityContext can be injected in the service impl rather than on the method signature.

> As part of moving from Errai RPC services to JAX-RS services (RTGOV-610), security context (identifying the user principal) has been disabled, as this was provided via the Errai bus at the backend.
> Adding SecurityContext to the REST services causes issues with the RTGov UI, as the same interface is used by the GWT/Errai client.
> One workaround would be to have two versions of the service interface, one pure and the other with the @Context SecurityContext parameter in the relevant methods. However this is not ideal. Need to see whether there is any other standard way to get the SecurityContext, and if not, consider whether using a filter may provide a better solution.
