Yes. For example if you change the password of a principal it needs to be 
properly encoded before storing so the password needs to go through 
aPasswordManager.encodePassword method. I think the only way to get rid of the 
generation is to use InternalPrincipal.setPassword method inside the views and 
store the encoded password as InternalPrincipal.password attribute (like before).
