Ben,

Thanks tons for the input and direction now I just need to figure out what
it all means. :)  I may be back with more questions as I digest and learn.

Correct me if I'm wrong but another reason might be for propagation of
security information to a remote EJB?  This is mainly what I need to
integrate with container managed security for, maybe there's another way?

On that topic would it be very difficult, possible, or useful to create a
spring interceptor that initializes and wraps an acegi threadlocal security
context given the current J2EE authenticated principal?  Similar to how the
Transaction and Hibernate Interceptors work?  I realize it would probably
require some sort of container specific method of obtaining the principal
associated with the current context; however, this functionality would be
very handy for those who cannot yet ditch container managed authentication
entirely. :)  Any input or guidance for such an interceptor would be greatly
appreciated as well.

Regards,
        Mike
