Simon Gunzenreiner commented on JBSEAM-729:
-------------------------------------------

If the problem is getting the caller Principal without having access to Java EE APIs, maybe this sample code, which uses a  JACC mechanism, would help?

            Object obj = PolicyContext.getContext("javax.security.auth.Subject.container");
            Subject subject = (Subject) obj;
            if (subject != null) {
                Set set = subject.getPrincipals();
                // get the first principal of the Subject (assume we have only one)
                for (Iterator iter = set.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
                    Principal principal = (Principal) iter.next();
                    return principal;
                }
            }
