Hi Scott
I am inclined to leave it as-is, as detecting the type returned by
getPrincipal() is rather easy to do, and can be encapsulated into a
static utility method in any event. Also, as we're in the 1.0.0 RC
phase, changing a relatively central interface like Authentication
should be viewed with caution.
Sounds reasonable. My only concern had been that third party
applications using Acegi expected certain return value and when you
swapped providers there was no guarantee of consistency (and sometimes
no way to update the code). I actually experienced this problem with
QuickBuild and I had to provide a modified Acegi jar in order for the
application to work properly. Maybe this just means that applications
should be calling authentication.getUserDetails instead of getPrincipal.
