All Known Implementing Classes:

AttributePrincipalImpl

public interface AttributePrincipal
extends Principal, Serializable

Extension to the standard Java Principal that includes a way to retrieve proxy tickets for a particular user and attributes.

Developer's who don't want their code tied to CAS merely need to work with the Java Principal then. Working with the CAS-specific features requires knowledge of the AttributePrincipal class.
