afaik, HttpRequest.setUserPrincipal() is implemented by the container (ie - Tomcat).
From the docs:
public void *setUserPrincipal*(java.security.Principal principal)
"Set the Principal who has been authenticated for this Request.
This value is also used to calculate the value to be returned
by the |getRemoteUser()| method."http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/catalina/HttpRequest.html

I've been looking at the various methods of doing access control, and many of the messages I've seen (on this list and elsewhere) mention doing something like:
hrequest.setUserPrincipal( new MyPrincipal(username) );
so that other code can call getUserPrincipal(), etc.
But there is no setUserPrincipal method on the HttpServletRequest, as far as I (and my compiler) can see. What's going on? Am I supposed to use some non-standard wrapper for the request?
Thanks for any help!
