Christian Schneider commented on CXF-3322:
------------------------------------------

Hi Sergey,

I propose to express roles simply as String. That should be enough for most 
contexts. I think roles should not be of type Principal.
So I propose to add Set<String> getRoles() to SecurityContext are to interface 
that implements SecurityContext. 

Additionally we could have a JaasLoginContext implements the above and also has 
Subject getSubject().
What do you think?

Christian

> CXF SecurityContexts can optionally implement it and then CXF interceptors
