Static method to get the current user id (container managed)

[bigcar]

Hi, Guys,

In jboss, is there a static way to get the current login user id? I know there similar ways in other application servers like WebLogic and Websphere.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Which application server version are you using?  Also is your deployment secured using WildFly Elytron or PicketBox?

public static String getUserName() {

SecurityContext sc = SecurityContextAssociation.getSecurityContext();

if (sc != null) {

SubjectInfo si = sc.getSubjectInfo();

if (si != null) {

Subject sub = si.getAuthenticatedSubject();

if (sub != null) {

Principal[] ps = sub.getPrincipals().toArray(new Principal[0]);

return ps.length > 0 ? ps[0].getName() : null;

}

}

}

return null;

}
