Difficult question Urgent!!!

[mohamed imdadullah <im...@hotmail.com>]

Hhi all,

I have Tomcat running under apache, i have been able to have same 
authentication for both apache (serving perl) and tomcat(serving jsp).

The problem is , after authenticating user in jsp, i need to get the user 
name of the person who has logged in to make further queries with the 
database.

I dunno how it is done, i dont even know whether it could could be retrieved 
from the http session.

iam pretty sure that the user name can be extracted as the apache maintains 
a different session for the perl part and another for the jsp part

any ideas would be appreciated

regards

How about the getRemoteUser() method of the request object?
