getCallerPrincipal()

[Padma Priya]

Hi all,

The chapter 17 of Core Ejb3.0 Spec on Security says:

Note that getCallerPrincipal returns the principal that represents the caller of the
enterprise bean, not the principal that corresponds to the run-as security identity for the bean,
if any.

So how can we get the principal that corresponds to the run-as security identity for the bean

With Regards

And also can anybody explain me the difference between caller Principal and a Role. are both the same

We can't get the Principal that corresponds to the run-as.
