Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()

The name to identify the type of a JetspeedPrincipal.

While the implementation class of a specific JetspeedPrincipalType might be replaced, the type name should remain constant (e.g. for a USER a different implementation could be provided but it will remain a USER afterall).

Note: the name value must conform to the Java Identifier requirements (e.g. no spaces, dots, etc.) to support localization through resource bundles.
