Class NobodyPrincipal

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.security.NobodyPrincipal

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable, java.security.Principal

public class NobodyPrincipal

extends java.lang.Object

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

An implementation of Principal and Comparable that represents no role. Any Principal or name of a Principal when compared to an NobodyPrincipal using equals or compareTo will always be found not equal to the NobodyPrincipal. Note that this class is not likely to operate correctly in a collection since the hashCode() and equals() methods are not correlated.
