You can create a bean that would store the user in the session after he is authenticated.
I hope you have login.jsp which would get the user id and password for authentication. Once the user is authenticated there would be a re-direction page (welcome-page in web.xml file). If you are using struts then this welcome-page can be an action class that would do a request.getUserPrincipal().getName() from the http request and store it in a session bean. If you are not using Struts then you can call a servlet that would do the same request.getUserPrincipal().getName() and store it in a session bean Hari -----Original Message----- From: David Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JDBCRealm/Form login get current user ?(hope Craig is listening). Hello tc-users and Craig McClanahan, i have been very successfull and lucky developing protected webapps using form-based login and JDBCRealm for the oracle database. WooHoo! i have searched the source JDBCRealm and RealmBase and cannot come up any ideas on how to determine who is currently logged in and using the "protected" webapp locations. the users, roles, and user_roles tables are working perfectly. Anyone w/ ideas on how to do a so-called: getUser or getCurrentLogin programmatically? maybe there is some server.xml config i could do. any and all ideas, suggestion, rants and raves welcomed. thanx, david. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
