How to get UserName and UserID inside JSP or Standard java p

[nagcareer]

Hi all,

Can any one help in to get some info on how to get user credentials into a portlet..

(ie. I need to get the loggedin userName and userID inside the portlet.)

The technique which is used in portal-core.war/.../.../.../header.jsp don't work inside a JSP or JSR-168 portlet..

Thanks in Advance
JG

hi, Got the answer by myself

you should use either :

req.getRemoteUser() or req.getUserPrincipal().getName()

if the user is not logged in then req.getRemoteUser() is null and same for req.getUserPrincipal()


Thanks
