How do you assure that only Joe can access his credit card information?

If you are using principals for that, than your EJB might as well
support a super-user role and allow anyone in that role to access
information for any principal.

If you are using something more than principals (let's say a
JDBCCredentials object) then the problem becomes way more complex.
