JDBCRealm/Form login get current user ?(hope Craig is listening).

[David Brown <dw...@webitplanet.com>]

Hello tc-users and Craig McClanahan, i have been very successfull and lucky 
developing protected webapps using form-based login and JDBCRealm for the 
oracle database. WooHoo! i have searched the source JDBCRealm and RealmBase 
and cannot come up any ideas on how to determine who is currently logged in 
and using the "protected" webapp locations. the users, roles, and user_roles 
tables are working perfectly. Anyone w/ ideas on how to do a so-called: 
getUser or getCurrentLogin programmatically? maybe there is some server.xml 
config i could do. any and all ideas, suggestion, rants and raves welcomed. 
thanx, david.

Hi David,

String user = request.getRemoteUser();

Returns the username of the current user if authentucated or null if not
authenticated.

See HttpServletRequest in J2EE platform docs for more info.
