How to get Principal in Domain Object

[mglicks]

I am attempting to implement a EntityListener for my Domain Objects. Those Domain Objects that I want to kepp an audit trail on (create user, create date, update user, update date) extend a class which uses an entity listener. In my Entity Listener I use @prePersist and @preUpdate to set the above values.

The problem is how can I get the Principal from the Session Context in my Domain Objects? Looks like the notion of a Entity Context no longer exists.

Any ideas?

I'm looking for the exact same functionality. Have you found an answer yet?

No I have not. I've read in some forums that there are work arounds, but they sound more like hacks. Temporarily I passing the Session Context to my DAO objects, and having the DAO set the principal.getName() from the Session Context on the actual DO object. For now the EntityListener is only setting the create/update date time.

I just launched a new topic with the possible solution of using a Stateless Sean bean as the listener ... not sure if that can be done.
