/**
 * The SecurityAssociation class maintains the security principal and
 * credentials. This can be done on either a singleton basis or a thread local
 * basis depending on the server property. When the server property has been set
 * to true, the security information is maintained in thread local storage. The
 * type of thread local storage depends on the org.jboss.security.SecurityAssociation.ThreadLocal
 * property. If this property is true, then the thread local storage object is
 * of type java.lang.ThreadLocal which results in the current thread's security
 * information NOT being propagated to child threads.
 *
 * When the property is false or does not exist, the thread local storage object
 * is of type java.lang.InheritableThreadLocal, and any threads spawned by the
 * current thread will inherit the security information of the current thread.
 * Subseqent changes to the current thread's security information are NOT
 * propagated to any previously spawned child threads.
 *
 * When the server property is false, security information is maintained in
 * class variables which makes the information available to all threads within
 * the current VM.
 * 
 * Note that this is not a public API class. Its an implementation detail that
 * is subject to change without notice.
