> SecurityContext.isInOneOf attempts to determine whether a user has one of a set of possible principals.  It does this by using HashSet.retainAll, which relies on equals and hashcode.
> This doesn't work for WebLogic principals (the variable "set" in that method always ends up empty).  I'm not totally clear on why, but I notice that the principals generated by a WebLogic authentication have signature data, while the principals created as the "eligible principals" using the same WebLogic classes (weblogic.security.principal.WLSGroupImpl) have null signature data.  I speculate that WebLogic signs the principals it creates and that equals and/or hashCode consider the signature.
> It would be ideal if SecurityContext.isInOneOf manually compared the principal class and principal name instead of relying on the equals and/or hashCode methods of the underlying principal class.
