how to get username of logged in user

[lorandsm_]

Hello,

I use authentication in my application this way:

Hashtable props = new Hashtable();

props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
props.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
props.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://" + readingPropertiesForConnection() + ":" + "1099");

Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);

dispecerat = (DispeceratEntityManager) ctx.lookup("capitol/DispeceratEntityManagerBean/remote");

and define the users and roles in the user.properties and roles.properties property files. What I want is to log user actions on the server which is running jboss. So in the business methods of my session bean I want to find out what user is requesting the operation to log the user requesting the operation. How could I do this? Thanks.

In your session bean you can use the following to the user name:

ejbContext.getCallerPrincipal()

To get the EJB context you can inject it using:

 @Resource
 SessionContext ejbContext;

You should really consider using an interceptor to perform audit logging to keep your business logic clean.
