SerializablePrincipal (Apache Tomcat 7.0.103 API Documentation)

## Class SerializablePrincipal

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.catalina.ha.session.SerializablePrincipal

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public class SerializablePrincipal
      extends Object
      implements Serializable

  Generic implementation of java.security.Principal that is available for use by `Realm` implementations. The GenericPrincipal does NOT implement serializable and I didn't want to change that implementation hence I implemented this one instead.
