> SecurityEvaluator.getPrincipal() is requried to be used in all other SecurityEvaluator methods, however, the return type "Principal" is to restrictive for some implementations.  
> The Principal is to be retrieved from the Authorization system, and in general may be a Principal, but in some cases, as in when integrating with Apache Shiro, it needs to be a differnt object type.
> The probable fix is to have getPrincipal() return a generic Object.
