Hello folks!

I have a strong desire to have a number of attributes held about a User in
my system, and to make some of these attributes available to my EJBs. My
initial thought was to have EJBContext.getCallerPrincipal() return an
instance of my User class (that implements the java.security.Principal
interface); then I was wondering, how do I make my app server return my
implementation of the Principal interface, as opposed to its own. As I am
using Weblogic, I have considered implementing my own custom Realm, which
will return my custom User, but I don't know whether that gets me anywhere?
Usage of Weblogic aside, I am wondering what is the app server independent
way of passing custom user attributes to an EJB is anyway (preferrably
WITHOUT making them arguments of the bean's remote interface)?

Regards,
James W.
