For all of you who might care.
Here is the path I've taken.
Faces-config.xml...
<managed-bean>
<description></description>
<managed-bean-name>UserController</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>org.me.TaskListController</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
JSP...
<h:outputText value="#{ UserController.user.firstName}" />
Java Code...
TaskListController.java
public User getUser() {
User user = new User();
user.setFirstName("ERROR-LOAD FAILED");
try {
user =
UserManagementDelegate.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return user;
}
UserManagerEJBBean.java
/**
* @ejb.interface-method
*/
public User getCurrentUser() throws Exception {
String currentUserName =
sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName();
User user =
SpecialBackEndSystemToOldMainFrame.getUser (currentUserName);
Return user;
}
User.java
Simple bean holding firstName & surname.
Not sure if it's the best way. But it works.
Jeff.

Subject: Re: User Management - advice needed.
You can do
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getUserPrincipal(
)
in every bean, also at first page.
