Get UserDetails object from Security Context in Spring MVC controller

Question

I\'m using Spring Security 3 and Spring MVC 3.05.

I would like to print username of currently logged in user,how can I fetch UserDetails in my Controller?

Answer 1

Let Spring 3 injection take care of this.

Thanks to tsunade21 the easiest way is:

 @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)   
 public ModelAndView anyMethodNameGoesHere(Principal principal) {
        final String loggedInUserName = principal.getName();

 }
