David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-3073:
----------------------------------------

more problems:

- GeronimoIdentityResolver pulls in a dependency on openejb-client in geronimo-security which is quite inappropriate

- The GeronimoIdentityResolver/GeronimoSecurityService pair let us eliminate the "remote login" stuff in geronimo-security, which will eliminate all the hard-to-understand parts of geronimo-security.  It might remove kerberos capabilities, but we can re-add those pretty easily and there's probably a more appropriate way to use kerberos.

> - GeronimoIdentityResolver should get the subject from the ContextManager, not Subject.getSubject, since it's possible to do a login programatically without a CallbackHandler and skip the Subject.doAs(), and furthermore at least in 1.4 jvms the subject from Subject.getSubject tends to disappear after a while.
> - Most likely we need to map the "business home" and local home methods to "unchecked" so that injection can work if the default principal is not authorized for everything.
