Ok, so I found various threads (like this one: 
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=37807 and 
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=35269).

However, something about this isn't sitting right with me.

1.) If the MDB RunAs annotation is merely providing a role, but no principal, 
shouldn't the "unauthenticated" identity get used, just with the @RunAs role?  
This isn't happening, since my unauthenticated identity is "guest" (in 
login-config.xml), the SecurityAssociation Stack (detailed above) is showing 
"anonymous" as the principal, and JBAS doesn't care about either....it is 
simply throwing an IllegalStateException whenever I try to access the principal 
inside of my SLSB (called from an MDB).  (Error:  
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No valid security context for the caller 
identity).

2.) If I perform a programmatic JAAS login inside of my MDB, but just before 
calling my SLSB, everything works fine.  However, shouldn't I be able to use 
the unauthenticated identiy coupled with the RunAs role in this scenario???

Any thoughts?
