Description

@Bean
@SessionScope
Path userPath( final Path root, @AuthenticationPrincipal final Identified<UUID> user ) {
    return root.resolve( user.getId().toString() );
}

or

@Service
class MyService {
     MyService( @AuthenticationPrincipal ObjectFactory<UserDetails> userDetailsFactory ) {
     ....
}

should work, imho. I know I can register them as session beans myself but seems like they just could or should be.

Research direction

The issue names @AuthenticationPrincipal and shows Path and ObjectFactory injection examples, but no repository files or tests. Start by locating the existing @AuthenticationPrincipal support, then determine the bean-injection behavior and tests needed to demonstrate both examples working.
