Hi,

I am getting ClassCast Exception when I try to retrieve principal object by sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal() in a bean method which is called by another bean.
If I print sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().getClass it prints my principal class's name, but when I cast it to that class I get ClassCastException.

I have checked it is not null.

I am using
<security-identity>
<use-caller-identity />
</security-identity>
tags in ejb-jar.xml.

I am using jboss 2.4.4 on a Windows 2000 box.

This problem goes if I write
MyPrincipal principal = new MyPrincipal(role, stringParam);
org.jboss.security.SecurityAssociation.setPrincipal(principal);
before calling the second bean, which is dirty and difficult to maintain.

Has anyone seen this problem?

thanks in advance for any help.

regards
Narinder.
