PortletRequest.USER_INFO returns empty

[ypomonh <yp...@freemail.gr>]

While trying to get the user name for the current user I have added:

    <user-attribute>
        <description xml:lang="en">User Name</description>
        <name>user.name</name>
    </user-attribute>

to my portlet.xml and in my portlet class:

    Map userInfo = (Map)request.getAttribute(PortletRequest.USER_INFO);
    String currentUser = (String)userInfo.get("user.name");
    response.getWriter().println("currentUser:");


but userInfo returns empty - userInfo.isEmpty() is true.

What fails..?
