Summary: NPE in JBossSecurityMgrRealm.getCachingPrincpal()

Initial Comment:
When the CallerPrincipal is not a descendant of 
SimplePrincipal and implements it's own hashCode() and 
equals() methods in a different way than SimplePrincipal, 
a NPE is thrown in 
JBossSecurityMgrRealm.getCachingPrincpal().
The reason to this is that TimedCachePolicy uses an 
internal HashMap where in which it uses the incoming 
Principal objects as keys and trusts their hashCode() 
and equals() implementations to be compatible with the 
implementations of SimplePrincipal. 
Nothing is stated about the requirements about the 
hashcode() and equals() implementation in the 
java.security.Principal interface documentation so it 
should not be trusted. 

Here is the stacktrace of the NPE

Its not clear this is due to the princpal equals/hashCode
implementation. There was an expectation that an
authenticated user has associated roles and if this was not
the case the NPE resulted. The NPE has been addressed.
