When using VelocityViewServlet all request, response and session values are put into the velocityContext. So I should be able to do:
$request.userPrincipal.principal.username But there is no "getPrincipal()" method attached to java.security.Principal. The only useful methods available are getName() and toString(). So I'll just try $request.userPrincipal.name and see what happens. I added things like email and zipcode to my AuthUser (which extends User). How do I get those values? Are they also somehow in the userPrincipal?
