More specifically, he may be looking for:
request.getUserPrincipal().getName(), which returns the actual user name.
I believe that request.getRemoteUser() only returns the username if the

Michael,
Principal returns the object implementing the Principal interface, where
request.getRemoteUser is a CGI compatibility call. I know there have
been instances when getRemoteUser did not work as expected for me (I
thought it was with BASIC authentication but that must not be the case).

I think you are wrong. What he is looking for is:
HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal() that return the

Or, you can use request.getUserPrincipal() to get that info. That

Hi,
One minor flaw in your idea, it's not possible to retrive the user from the session,
