Do you still feel there is a need > for the user-identifier to be a generic Object? I would always retain as much information as possible. Regaining it is impossible afterwards. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
