request.getCallerPrincipal() bug

[pitdingo]

after I sucessfully login, i do a request.getCallerPrincipal() call and get the authenticated principal.

This is not the same object type as the principal I created in my LoginModule. Shouldn't it be? If not, why are Principal objects created in the LoginModules?

a little more detail....

I created my own Principal class and named it J2EEPrincipal. If i do an instanceof on the returned principal from the httpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal() it is not my J2EEPrincipal type.
