I would recommend you to write simple bean with getter method that
returns current logged in user from SecurityContext:
class CurrentUser {
Object getPrincipal() {
SecurityContext ctx = SecurityContextHolder.getContext();
if (ctx == null)
return null;
return ctx.getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
}
}
Register this bean in JSF application scope (under name currentUser)
and use it where JSF EL is allowed. F.e.:
<h:outputText value="#{currentUser.principal} />
