I believe Weblogic uses a default principal if one has not been passed in. JBoss
does not. What is name of the principal returned by Weblogic when you
invoke getCallerPrincipal() when there is no authenticated user?
We need to add a similar notion that allows one to set a default principal to
use for unauthenticated access. I'll add this to the new 2.4 beta which is
coming out tonight.
