----------------------------------
Summary: The return type of the SecurityEvaluator.getPrincipal()
is to restrictive.
Key: JENA-850
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-850
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Security
Affects Versions: Jena 2.12.1
Environment: All
Reporter: Claude Warren
Assignee: Claude Warren
SecurityEvaluator.getPrincipal() is requried to be used in all other
SecurityEvaluator methods, however, the return type "Principal" is to
restrictive for some implementations.
The Principal is to be retrieved from the Authorization system, and in general
may be a Principal, but in some cases, as in when integrating with Apache
Shiro, it needs to be a differnt object type.
The probable fix is to have getPrincipal() return a generic Object.
