Several of our apps use a third-party filter [1] to authenticate the user,
which stores credentials in the http session.  I'd appreciate being able to
write:

class UsernameProvider
{

  @HttpSession Map<String, Object> session;

  @Produces @Username String retrieveCasReceipt()
  {
     return (String) session.get(CASFilter.CAS_FILTER_USER);
  }

}


So, +1 for Dan's suggestion.  If support for such attribute maps aren't in
Seam, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be putting them in my Util
project.
