SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() returning null
I am trying to get access to the currently logged in user, but when I call SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication(), the Authentication returned is null. I am assuming the user is logged in since they have access to the secure page I am testing, but I don't know how to tell for sure since I cannot access the Authentication object. Any hints about why SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() would return a null?

RE: SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() returning null
I'm using Spring 3/Spring Security 3. I tried using security:authentication property=principal.username/ on the protected page and the username actually appears when I go directly to http://localhost/jsp/hello.jsp. If I go to http://localhost/hello.action, the security:authentication property=principal.username/ tag renders nothing and SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() returns a null value.

Check your filter order. I cannot recall if it is the filters are chained by the filter declaration order of the filter mapping order. -Original Message- From: Lance Hill [mailto:la...@baldhead.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 12:08 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List'; lukasz.len...@gmail.com Subject: RE: SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() returning null I'm using Spring 3/Spring Security 3.
