  +--org.jboss.security.AnybodyPrincipal

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable, java.security.Principal

public class AnybodyPrincipal

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.lang.Comparable, java.security.Principal

An implementation of Principal and Comparable that represents any role. Any Principal or name of a Principal when compared to an AnybodyPrincipal using equals or compareTo will always be found equals to the AnybodyPrincipal. Note that this class is not likely to operate correctly in a collection since the hashCode() and equals() methods are not correlated.
