[seam-dev] deprecations on Identity

[Dan Allen]

Is it really necessary to deprecate get/setUsername() and
get/setPassword() on Identity? I understand the benefits of having a
Credentials component to hold this information, and that it can be
swapped out, but I don't see why the pass through methods on Identity
cannot be treated as convenience methods. I feel like we are going to
cause a lot of people to go and change their applications for no
reason if they are fine with their current authentication setup.

Again, I am thrilled about the new security stuff. I'm just want to
make sure we don't step on the toes of current rollouts.
